New Fears For Fern's Health

As the weight creeps back on, a doctor warns she needs to get control before it’s too late

New Fears For Fern's Health

Ten years ago, Fern Britton made headlines when it was revealed that her 5st weight loss was down to a secret gastric band that she’d had fitted, and now – having gained weight following an operation – a medical professional has warned that the mum-of-four’s health could be at risk again.

LONG-TERM ISSUES

Woman’s GP, Dr Philippa Kaye, explains that Fern could be at risk of a heart attack, stroke or even cancer if she continues to stretch the gastric band by overeating.

‘The most likely thing is that the band is being stretched and the size of her stomach is getting bigger, allowing her to eat more,’ she reveals. ‘This means there are some real long-term risks to her health, which are associated with obesity.’

Fern, 60, has made no secret of her battle with anxiety and depression in the past. And Dr Philippa warns that these issues – which can often cause patients to overeat prior to surgery – don’t miraculously disappear after the device is surgically fitted.
