| Surgical management can be more costly than non-surgical management TegenArgument1 #352715 Surgical management was more costly than non-surgical management in each of the three patient populations analysed (BMI 40; BMI 30 and<40 with type 2 diabetes at baseline; and BMI 30 and <35) but gave improved outcomes. For morbid obesity, ICERs ranged between £2,000 and £4,000 per QALY gained. For BMI 30 and <40, ICERs were £18,930 at 2 years and £1,397 at 20 years, and for BMI 30 and <35, ICERs were £60,754 at 2 years and£12,763 at 20 years. | |

Current government policy is focused largely on prevention, which is vital in ensuring the scale of the obesity problem and its associated costs do not increase. It does not, however, address the problems of those people already obese or morbidly obese and the costs associated with their health conditions. Moreover, obesity treatment is often cost effective.109FDEF6, 399713Improve support for people with severe and complicated obesityGreater focus needs to be devoted to strategies supporting individuals who are already obese.

| | Fragment- Long-term multicomponent weight management interventions were generally shown to promote weight loss in overweight or obese adults. Weight changes were small however and weight regain was common. There were few similarities between the included studies; consequently an overall interpretation of the results was difficult to make. There is some evidence that weight management interventions are likely to be cost-effective, although caution is required as there were some limitations in the two cost-evaluation studies described. |
