Fern Britton Finally Proud Of Weight Loss

I feel very sorry for this woman, but then I think about the message she’s sending out to millions of overweight women (and men) out there and I have to rethink.

While Fern Britton is right in emphasizing the need for a woman to keep some things private, I disagree with the sneaky way she went about her weight loss issue. For a woman who is very much in the public eye, it is important to consider the repercussions.

Fern lost 5 stone over a period of two years and attributed her weight loss to diet and exercise a la most actresses and socialites. What she glossed over was that she had weight loss surgery to get her down 7 dress sizes.

A gastric bypass surgery, very popular with obese individuals, reduces the size of the stomach. This causes the person to ingest less food and serves as an efficient appetite-curb.

A GBP is one of the various bariatric surgery options we offer at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California. If the patient is up for more cosmetic tweaks and nips then an abdominoplasty too is performed.

Fern very well could have had a tummy tuck to get rid of sagging belly muscles and excess skin after her weight loss surgery. Sadly, she has lost the chance to be a beacon of hope for many women who have had weight loss surgery.
