Fantastic Website covering every avenue of Weightloss surgery in the UK. The Webmaster has had surgery himself and the site is well worth a browse. Find Surgeon info, forums, book reviews (done by yours truly!), and loads more on this informative site.

A good site worth a look, but not yet as informative as the one above. Very RNY slanted so the DSers would probably not find much of interest here yet.

This is long but worth reading. NHS material on morbid obesity and the planned path of action. There are a few comparisons of surgery, but here the authors could do with more research as the fabulous DS is not mentioned at all. Amazingly the Jejunoileal bypass is...and this is bad news as this procedure was so disastrous it is no longer performed in the US at all. I can only hope it is not done here in the UK.

This section kind of shows how out of date we are on the Obesity surgery front in the UK. Still, that said, this is only a small segment of a large and relevant assessment.


http://aso.org.uk/

The association for the study of obesity. Not all about WLS but some interesting articles and medical papers about obesity with some info on child obesity. Interesting to browse and gives one an idea of the current mindset about obesity.
