Recovery is also quicker.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Nice found that it was a &#8216;safe and effective&#8217; procedure and had cost benefits through the potential gains of helping patients to avoid other diseases.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Obesity costs the NHS around \u00a36.5billion per year and is the second biggest preventable cause of cancer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Some 25.9 per cent of adults in England are obese, with a further 37.9 per cent overweight.<\/p>\n<p>Professor Benger said that surgical treatment options are in high demand and &#8216;not everyone wants, or is fit enough&#8217; to undergo an operation such as weight-loss surgery.<\/p>\n<p>A consultation on the ESG procedure is open until October 26. It is the latest move by Nice to help tackle obesity.
