In this episode, we are delighted to be joined by Consultant Bariatric Surgeon and Sunday Times best-selling author, Dr Andrew Jenkinson. Dr Jenkinson works in the NHS at University College London Hospital as well as privately. In 2020 he released his first book, Why We Eat (Too Much) and his second book, a science-backed guide to nutrition and health titled, How to Eat (and Still Lose Weight), comes out in January. In this big dietetic debate, we’re asking the question, ‘Should bariatric surgery abroad be allowed?’. Many of you have likely read about this topic or perhaps even experienced it first-hand, with patients coming into the NHS with complications following bariatric surgery aboard. We’ll first recap the basics of bariatric surgery before getting into this topic; we’ll be discussing everything from the reasons why people choose to go abroad, how surgery and the process abroad differs from the NHS, and the complications that can arise.Show NotesWebsite: https://www.laparoscopicconsultant.co.uk/Twitter: @mradjenkinson1Why We Eat (Too Much) book: https://www.whyweeattoomuch.co.uk/How to Eat (And Still Lose Weight) book pre-order: https://www.penguin.co.uk/books/455359/how-to-eat-and-still-lose-weight-by-jenkinson-andrew/9780241627983
