Seems fitting x
Tbh I do think it's wrong for a 21 year old to go through that particular, pretty complex, op, when she was the age she was and the weight she was. What she truly would have needed was support from her loved ones and professional help to tackle weight issues. You can have all the gastric bands you like but it doesn't change your mindset and the way you feel about yourself. I would imagine (speculation here) that Fiddle was never particularly supportive and maybe even criticised her weight instead of helping her to develop a healthy body image. She never seems particularly happy with herself or comfortable in her own skin even now, hence the endless filters, when actually natural Sophie is just fine and she looks fine without filters. I looked after a patient reasonably recently who had gone from 30ish stone down to normal weight but he wasn't happy. Its such a life changing surgery that at age 21 it feels massively wrong to me that any surgeon would operate. Still money talks doesn't it.I mean my mates BMI was in the range of being accepted anyway, without her mental health struggles. You can always Google the BMI range, but she proved she couldn't lose weight for a while. She'd hit a brick wall after a certain amount of weight loss and it made her severely depressed and anxious , and her doctor put her forward for one on the NHS.
It's a real thing, alot of mental health is triggered by a persons weight because the worlds a cruel place with small-minded people. It absolutely should be one of the main reasons you get accepted, Bmi range or not (IF you can prove you've tried to lose weight first) in my eyes.
I'm pretty sure Sophs was done privately. She was only what, 21? I don't think she'd of got one on the NHS at that age. I don't think there's absolutely anything wrong with it. She did it, her money, her body, her choice. The only thing I don't agree with is she had complications with hers, that's why hers is unclipped and no longer serves its purpose. So when she does mention her gastric band, I wish she'd also mention the dangers and complications that can come with it. Other than that, there's nothing wrong with it.
Private will touch anyone whos willing to pay. Look at Turkey, half the price for everything. It's easy to get, but that's why I think the complications should be spoken about more so people stop thinking its the easy way out, when from my experience with friends, it's not.Tbh I do think it's wrong for a 21 year old to go through that particular, pretty complex, op, when she was the age she was and the weight she was.

I hope I didn’t offend with my comment earlier, hunnay. I certainly didn’t mean to criticise Hinch for being upset over her chicken dying. The whole farm narrative touches a nerve for me and I don’t think I articulated what I was trying to say very well. I like to think I’m pretty fair minded and don’t criticise unduly, but I can see how it would have come across that way.Aw fanks hun
I'm inspired by you pointing out that for some that's the case - it's Hinch so it'll never be the right thing. Something clicked for me and realised that, no it's not a rave thread at all and I have zero respect for the woman but sometimes there are some long arms reaching for the negatives.
She paid. Well, think daddy lent her the money or she got a loan.Ah OK, I was under the impression that mental health wasn't one of the criteria they use, but would use less invasive procedures like a sleeve if there were other issues. But then I also thought you had to be morbidly obese to get a band and she definitely wasn't that. Unless she had it done privately of course.
Exactly, allegedly Fiddle bullied her over her weight and we’ve had ex colleagues of Inch’s saying he fat shamed themTbh I do think it's wrong for a 21 year old to go through that particular, pretty complex, op, when she was the age she was and the weight she was.

Daddy loaned her the money it’s been said on here way back and mummy fat shamed herShe paid. Well, think daddy lent her the money or she got a loan.

Hey debate is good, it's fine to disagree and I'm with you on a lot of what you say, but it angers me, having seen what harmful impact this surgery can have on a patients life, not just psychologically but sometimes physical effects too (the dangers and complications of which you speak) that ANY surgeon would have done this on a 21 year old. But then what responsible surgeon would give Katie Price those enormous tits! And I think Hinch definitely has issues with food now which I would bet anything stem from that op. But glad your friend is doing OK, I guess in my line of work, I only see patients when things have gone wrong!Private will touch anyone whos willing to pay. Look at Turkey, half the price for everything. It's easy to get, but that's why I think the complications should be spoken about more so people stop thinking its the easy way out, when from my experience with friends, it's not.
But I'm just going off my friend, she wasn't struggling with depression for any other reason other than her weight, because despite what narrow minded people think, weight is up there for being the reason people are suffering with their MH, and if they're mature enough to understand the surgery and have tried and considered other routes, it's no ones business. We can't put blame on family members.
It's been a year now for my friend and she looks fantastic and she feels it, mentally and physically. Shes not suffering with depression anymore.
In my opinion, the surgery does change lives and if you can prove you're trying and understand the op is a life style change, forever, then why not.
Maybe not at 21, but I've not been in that situation myself, so I can't judge.
Everyone's opinions are different. And that's OK.
If i was struggling with my weight to the point it was affecting my life, damn right I'd do the surgery.
ETA, I'm not arguing with you if it comes across that way BTW xx
its all that's happening on this frigging thread recently, people with sticks up their arses all over, I'm just putting my OPINION across, as are you x

That little thought lasted all of 2 minutes the little bintDidn’t Soph want to habla espanol at one point?
Different people have this procedure done for different reasons and in my opinion some people shouldn't have it done while they can still resolve their weight issues naturally - I do believe that some people have tried it all and still fail and have no other resort whether it be down to mental or hormonal issues, these are real for some. However, again in my opinion, Sophie's main mental issue is that she likes short cuts, she lacks discipline, she has a superior complex and when it comes to food she is not educated about it and refuses to be.I mean my mates BMI was in the range of being accepted anyway, without her mental health struggles. You can always Google the BMI range, but she proved she couldn't lose weight for a while. She'd hit a brick wall after a certain amount of weight loss and it made her severely depressed and anxious , and her doctor put her forward for one on the NHS.
