Dr Ashton - April 2010 - Exclusive Easyband

Announcing the Exciting Launch of the Easyband - available in the UK only from Healthier Weight

"It is a great privilege for us to have been chosen as the only provider of the state of the art Easyband in the UK. 

The reasons for this are as follows:

• Our surgeons' expertise, particularly Prof. Favretti who has been involved in developing the technique of the Easyband and placed more than anyone else in the world

• Our reputation in the weight loss industry for setting standards of service and aftercare

• Our drive for innovation that is based on sound research and evidence

Allergan, the innovator of the EasyBand commented:

"We are delighted to be working with Healthier Weight on the development of the EasyBand, which we believe to be an exciting development in gastric band technology.  The consistently high quality of patient care provided by Healthier Weight made them an obvious partner for Allergan".

The main difference for a patient between the Easyband and an ordinary gastric band is that the Easyband can be adjusted using a remote control box rather than requiring a needle filled with saline.  It is, therefore, especially appealing for people who don't like injections.

We are one of the few centres in Europe to have access to the Easyband.  Furthermore, we will shortly be welcoming a number of surgeons from the United States to Manchester for training on how to implant the Easyband".
