Ms Brown intended to move to the couurt

Ms Brown who weighs 24 stones from Glasgow, is intended to go to the court if she does not allowed going though the weight loss surgery. She is in extreme pain and believes her only option to lose weight is to have a gastric band fitted around her stomach (From BBC NEWS).

But the health officials told her that she has to attend a one year diet program before she can be considered for the surgery.

In the past she was able to lose 12 stones with a weight loss drug prescribed to her by the doctor. But she gained that weight back with time.

In England it is recommended that anyone with a BMI of over 40, like Ms Brown, should automatically be considered for surgery because of the cost efficiency.
