Howard’s Way endorses Daily Mail’s concerns about bariatric surgery

Celebrities such as Vanessa Feltz and Fern Britton are among many people who have publicly admitted to having gastric bands fitted to help them lose – and stop putting on – weight. However, according to an article in the Daily Mail, the true costs of gastric bands include brittle bones, depression and suicide.

While the number of weight loss operations (known as bariatric surgery) has reached record numbers, the Daily Mail article reveals that, despite these operations’ apparent convenience, serious concerns are emerging about their overuse, their soaring failure rate and the deaths and lifelong complications that can result.

Penelope Howard, obesity specialist and the founder of the Howard’s Way very low calorie diet (VLCD), commented: “The Daily Mail article confirms Howard’s Way’s view that having bariatric surgery is a bad move.

“I’ve known of cases where the patients who, having undergone bariatric surgery have had to exist on pureed food (food replacement) and take their nutrients in additive form for the rest of their life. By contrast, Howard’s Way patients receive all their nutrients in the Howard’s Way food replacement formula throughout their weight loss period and then re-enter the real world and live on ‘regular’ food the rest of their life!

“We have actually had patients who, having had bariatric surgery, ask if they can come on our diet,” she added.

According to Penelope, the Howard’s Way VLCD:

• helps patients lose all the weight they want to lose

• keeps them fit and healthy while they do so

• re-educates them on the properties; values and dangers of foods for their future weight management

• offers free support and guidance for life

“We aim to teach our patients about nutritional values of food; how to see past misleading advertising on food; how their bodies use different foods, and which foods – such as white sugar – are likely to have an addictive quality about them,” Penelope explained. “Secondly, we want to keep them nutritionally supported and healthy while they shed their excess weight at the rate of 14 to 21 pounds every four weeks while they are on the programme.”

An alternative approach to weight loss, bariatric surgery – introduced in the 1990s – involves having a silicone band fitted around the stomach; staples inserted to make the stomach smaller, or having the gut ‘re-plumbed’ to make the stomach smaller and the digestive tract shorter. All forms of bariatric surgery aim to make patients want much less at meal times.

Last year, the NHS bill for bariatric surgery amounted to some £20m. In all, some 4,300 operations were carried out by the NHS in 2009 – a 55 per cent rise over the previous year – and there were another 5,000 operations performed privately.

However, research is now showing that a significant number of these operations are ineffective.

According to researchers from the University of California, San Diego, some 20 per cent of gastric bypass patients regain much of their weight within a few years of surgery. And a study by Dutch doctors has found the success rate for gastric banding might be so low it calls into question whether the operation is worth doing.

Five years after surgery, a third failed to lose significant weight. After ten years, two-thirds were around their original size. As a result of complications, a third of patients needed the operation re-done after five years; while half needed this after ten years.

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota report that people who undergo bariatric surgery have twice the average risk of breaking bones later. One theory is that the patients’ reduced ability to absorb nutrients leads to bone-thinning. Iron absorption is also affected, leaving patients at much higher risk of anemia.

Other new research suggests that bariatric surgery can contribute to patients developing kidney stones and psychological problems, including committing suicide.

The Daily Mail article quoted John Morgan, a consultant psychiatrist at the Yorkshire Centre for Eating Disorders as saying: “If you’re eating because of a need in your brain rather than a need for stomach satiety signals, then having your stomach reduced is not going to solve that.”

It went on to state that psychologists have discovered that while many surgery patients cut their eating, they transfer their addiction – becoming alcoholics, binge-shoppers or sex addicts.

While the effectiveness of bariatric surgery is being questioned, there is a still need to reduce the number of people in Britain who qualify for this type of surgery. It is estimated that there are 1m Britons who have a BMI of 40 or more (or 35 to 40 if the patient has type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure). Under current NHS rules, this qualifies them fro bariatric surgery but the article quotes Professor Tony Leeds, a bariatric physician at the Whittington Hospital in North London, as saying that the cost of this would be £9.1bn.

“Howard’s Way, with its VLCD, is making a dent in the nation’s obesity figures,” said Penelope. “We’re a viable alternative to bariatric surgery, and we save the NHS money by reducing the demand for obesity-related medication or surgery.”

About Howard’s Way VLCD

Penelope Howard had been researching into very low calorie diets (VLCDs) and weight loss since 1992 and worked with obese patients and a VLCD for some five years before she founded Howard’s Way in 1998.

Those enrolling on the Howard’s Way VLCD initially agree to an 18 week programme involving regular meetings twice weekly for the first four weeks, then once a week from there on. For the ‘Distance Dieter’ these meetings are replaced with one-to-one ‘support calls’ every week. In addition, Howard’s Way staff try to speak to those beginning the diet for at least five minutes a day to provide vital ‘moral’ support.

Howard’s Way recognises that the hardest struggle is maintaining lost weight. So, while dieting, all patients are talked through weekly handouts to gain knowledge and understanding on the workings of their body and the effects of eating certain foodstuffs. Additionally, Howard’s Way Maintenance support is ‘free of charge for life’ for all our dieters.

Typically, most patients lose at least three stones (20 kilos) in weight, men often much more, in the first 12 weeks of the diet. Those who choose to carry on with the diet continue to lose about a stone (6.5 kilos) every four weeks.

The Howard’s Way VLCD comprises specially formulated foods, in the form of: milk shakes; soups; and fruit bars; containing the full complement of vitamins, minerals, protein and essential fatty acids that an adult requires but restricting the calorific intake, to induce a state of ‘mild dietary ketosis’ after day three of the diet.

Mail $101.96 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Mail Guardian is a South African weekly tabloid newspaper, published by MG Media in Johannesburg, South Africa, with a strong focus on politics, government, the environment, civil society and business. The newspaper was initially started as an alternative newspaper by a group of journalists in 1985 after the closures of two leading liberal newspapers, The Rand Daily Mail and Sunday Express. The paper, originally known as the Weekly Mail, was launched on a shoestring budget of R50 000 (about 7 000), and relied for its survival on the often unpaid labour of a small staff and parttime volunteers. The early shareholders were liberal professionals, academics and business leaders who contributed a few thousand rands each as a gesture towards maintaining a tradition of critical journalism in an increasingly harsh political climate.

A Horse Book (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) $11.44 Mary Tourtel (1874-1948) was an English artist and creator of Rupert Bear. She was born as Mary Caldwell and raised in an artistic family. She grew up studying art, animal drawings in particular, and became a children”s book illustrator. She eventually married an editor of The Daily Express newspaper, Herbert Tourtel. Rupert Bear was created in the 1920s as the Express was in competition with The Daily Mail and its comic strips Teddy Tail, and Pip, Squeak and Wilfrid. Rupert Bear was first published as a nameless character in a strip titled Little Lost Bear in 1920. Published as two cartoons a day and a short story underneath, the strip featured a brown bear until the Express cut inking expenses and made Rupert”s colour white. Tourtel retired in 1935 after her eyesight deteriorated, and the strip was continued by a Punch illustrator, Alfred Bestall.

Elite Forces: An Encyclopedia of the World’s Most Formidable Secret Armies $2.57 Since the siege at London’s Iranian Embassy in 1980, the reputation of special military units such as the SAS has grown steadily. It is now taken for granted that special forces are ideal for a world of small, balkanised conflicts and terrorist activity: with a tactical focus that minimises casualties, they can also be viewed as ‘election-friendly’ for democratic governments.

It looks at all aspects of the overlap between elite forces and the worlds of intelligence and counterterrorism, also taking an objective look at the controversial role of Special Forces and ‘freelancers’ in covert operations such as assassination. Fully up-to-date, it looks at the relevance of Special Forces to the global fallout of September 11, their role in Afghhanistan, the former Yugoslavia, the Middle East and a potential second invasion of Iraq. Importantly, it separates the reality from the macho myths to make for a authoritative, often frightening read.Key Selling Points- Global in scope: every major International Special Forces unit is covered, from the Delta Force to SAS- Fully up-to-date- Packed with tales of daring and heroism – but also debunks the macho myths- By the author of the critically acclaimed Espionage- The air of mystery surrounding Special Forces ensures frequent media coverage- Author will promote, is well connected within the media, and writes for the Daily Mail and the Daily Express

Empire of Debt: The Rise of an Epic Financial Crisis $6.98 From the Publisher:In no-nonsense prose, Empire of Debt confronts critical concerns about the position of the United States as the world’s leading economy and great military might. For many years, the United States has been the country from which others sought advice, money, and a high return on investment. At the same time, Uncle Sam has descended from being the world’s largest creditor to its greatest debtor. Why the paradox?The team that conceived the international bestseller Financial Reckoning Day offers the first in-depth look at how Americans abandoned sound traditions of economic freedom, personal liberty, and fiscal restraint, favoring instead government control of the economy, unfettered deficit spending, gluttonous consumption, and fearless military adventurism, all of which have ravaged the business environment, devastated personal balance sheets, and led the global economy to the brink of financial crisis. The authors argue there will be a dramatic change in the economic power of the United States in the coming years that will inevitably impact every American. Understanding this is critical for everyone, from lawmakers and corporate leaders to investors seeking safe places to invest retirement funds. Despite the serious topic, the authors’ irreverent style entertains as they find humor in a precarious financial situation.

If You Lived Here, I’d Know Your Name $4.66 Heather Lende lives in a tiny, frigid Alaskan town with her husband, five children, three dogs, seven chickens, and a rabbit. Closely involved in the life of her community, she is an NPR commentator, columnist for the Anchorage Daily News, and obituary writer for the local paper. In this chronicle of her experiences, she introduces some of the local eccentrics, writes candidly about her own family and the people she encounters, and brings to vibrant life the unexpected virtues of place that few people in the lower 48 are aware of.From The Publisher:Tiny Haines, Alaska, is ninety miles north of Juneau, accessible mainly by water or air–and only when the weather is good.

We meet her husband, Chip, who owns the local lumber yard, their five children, and a colorful assortment of friends and neighbors, including aging hippies, salty fisherman, native Tlingit Indians, and volunteer undertakers, as well as the moose, eagles, sea lions, and bears with whom they share this wild and perilous land.About The Author:Heather Lende writes for Haine’s Chilkat Valley News and is a frequent contributor to the Christian Science Monitor and NPR’s Morning Edition.

Minneapolis and the Age of Railways $39.95 With the recent revitalization of the Minneapolis Warehouse District and the surge in construction of condominiums and new buildings near the banks of the Mississippi, the landscape of the city seems to change almost daily. Not so long ago, however, this newly desirable area was blanketed by railroads serving the lumber and flour mills and other industries powered by the enormous Falls of St. Anthony. In Minneapolis and the Age of Railways, Don Hofsommer presents Minneapolis from the 1860s into the 1950s, when railroads served as a unique link between city and countryside. Rails carried wheat and helped make Minneapolis the flour milling capital of the world; brought logs to Minneapolis to be processed into lumber that built towns and farms across the prairies; and delivered coal and all manner of manufactured goods and merchandise to Minneapolis, its vast hinterland to the north and west, and beyond to the Rockies and the Pacific, making the growth of America’s northern heartland possible. Railroads also provided efficient, long-distance transportation for hundreds of thousands of people who traveled via Minneapolis. The Milwaukee Road and Great Northern passenger terminals in Minneapolis were vibrant places–the heart of the city–pumping passengers, mail, and express parcels into the nation’s steel-rail cardiovascular system. Illustrated with more than 200 period photographs and maps detailing the city and the tracks that crossed it, this remarkable book reflects a time not so long ago when the locomotive dominated the landscape and set the tempo for the nation–the age of railways. Don L. Hofsommer is professor of history at St. Cloud State University. He is the authorof many books on railroad history, including The Tootin’ Louie: A History of Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway and The Great Northern Railway: A History, both published by Minnesota.

My Life and an Era: The Autobiography of an African American Lawyer in Early Oklahoma $124.83 Buck Colbert Franklin (1879-1960) led an extraordinary life; from his boyhood adventures on a ranch in what was then the Indian Territory to his practice of law in twentieth-century Tulsa, he was an observant witness to the changes in politics, law, daily existence, and race relations that transformed the wide-open Southwest. Fascinating in its depiction of an intelligent young man’s coming of age in the days of the land rush and the closing of the frontier, My Life and an Era is equally important for its reporting of the triracial culture of early Oklahoma. Recalling his youth spent in the Chickasaw Nation, Franklin suggests that blacks fared better in the Southwest in the days of the Indians than they did later with the influx of a large white population. In addition to his insights about the society of the time, Franklin offers his childhood reminiscences of mustangs and mountain lions, of farming and ranch life, that might appear in a Western novel. After returning from college in the foreign worlds of Nashville and Atlanta, Franklin married a college classmate, studied law by mail, passed the bar, and struggled to build a practice in Ardmore and, later, in the all-black town of Rentiesville during the first years of Oklahoma statehood. Eventually a successful attorney in Tulsa, he was an eyewitness to a number of important events in the Southwest, including the devastating Tulsa race riot of 1921, which destroyed the city’s black section and left dozens dead. His account clearly shows the growing racial tensions as more and more people moved into the state in the period leading up to World War II.
