A new audit from the National Bariatric Surgery Registry (NBSR), published today, has found that bariatric surgery could be used as an alternative and cost-effective treatment to prevent a number of obesity-related health problems, including Type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes UK agrees that bariatric surgery could be used as an alternative treatment to help clinically obese people lose weight, but only if all other attempts to lose weight through diet and lifestyle have been unsuccessful and the person’s diabetes remains poorly controlled.

Re: Orthognathic Surgery
Hi Beth,
you are definately not alone there are quite a few of us from the uk on here. I am 27 and had braces put on in January. I will hopefully have double jaw surgery next year to correct my overbite and lack of chin!
I wasn't referred by my dentist until i was 26 (not sure why not as my lower jaw is currently 18mm off my top jaw) but i am so glad am i now getting it done.
My orthodontist has been fantastic and i really can't complain so far - apart from very painful wire changes! I think my teeth were quite happy before!
Nice to know i am not the only one on here just starting teh journey in the uk
