A woman who has struggled with her weight for more than 10 years says strict rules around specialist NHS help is driving many to consider travelling abroad for gastric band surgery.
Kerri Glover says she has spent the last three years pleading with NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde to provide her with specialist support after trying everything else.
However, she says this had been refused as she has been told the criteria means only those with certain pre-existing health conditions and a Body Mass Index (BMI) of over 60 are eligible.
