NHS chiefs have banned mums-to-be from giving birth at their hospital if they weigh too much.

Women wanting to have babies at Weston General Hospital in Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, are required to have their body mass index (BMI) calculated.

Anyone with a BMI figure of over 34 will be turned away and made to travel 20 miles to a more fully-equipped maternity unit in Bristol.

BMI is a formula based on height and weight. A reading of 34 is equivalent to a 5ft 6in woman weighing 15 stone.

Those wishing for a healthier lifestyle before planning a pregnancy may wish to consider weight loss surgery with The Hospital Group.

Now a published author, everyone’s favourite Big Brother glamour girl has sought help from The Hospital Group cosmetic surgeons to boost her profile – with a breast enlargement, more commonly known as a boob job.
Aisleyne, who has recently turned 30, said: “You hear of people booking in for surgery and not getting the look they wanted, and that was me before.
“I just wanted to get the shape sorted out. My boobs were sitting quite far apart so I wanted something which gave me much more of a cleavage.
“I definitely don’t want them massive like Jordan or super-pert like Victoria Beckham, just something natural which is going to look good in a dress.”

Along with surgery partner Why Go Abroad, the huge number of operations booked with The Group reflects a growing trend of people forced into going private in their quest for a perfect, healthier body as the NHS buckles under the strain of demand.

The Hospital Group has seen a 73.9% increase in interest in weight loss surgery, with a staggering 12,848 people seeking surgery in 2008. In 2007, 7,385 people enquired into gastric procedures.

David Ross, Chief Executive of The Hospital Group said: “Despite the current financial climate, we are still seeing a huge rise in interest in gastric surgery. It would seem that, despite everything, people seeking weight loss surgery are willing to spend more on private surgery to avoid long NHS waiting lists.

“At The Hospital Group, people can be assured of a dedicated, professional service, with astounding success rates and a limited waiting time. The huge rise seen industry-wide shows the new demand for weight loss surgery, and it would seem the NHS just can’t cope with this demand.

“The Fern Britton effect has made people more aware of what obesity surgery can achieve, and it looks like people are really recognising the huge benefits of gastric surgery. Certainly, The Hospital Group experienced a surge in enquiries whenever the media covered Fern’s procedure.”

The Hospital Group is committed to providing the very highest standards and all procedures are performed by an expert medical team in state-of-the-art facilities that are second to none. Since The Hospital Group was established in 1992, it has grown from a small pharmaceutical company to one of Ireland and the UK’s foremost weight loss surgery providers.
