Bariatric surgery is proving to be the only evidence-based method for inducing weight loss and improving major obesity-related commodities and tomorrow’s issue of Pink features a woman who has undergone the daunting operation that effectively seals off part of the stomach.

She relates why she opted to undergo gastric bypass surgery, the psychological preparation in the run-up to the operation, the aftermath of dealing with a heavily reduced appetite and minute food portions and, of course, the results and their effects on other health conditions.

The April issue of the leading women’s magazine, out with The Sunday Times of Malta, has a focus on the downside of food, with a first-hand account of a mother’s struggle to ensure her coeliac daughter is affected as little as possible by this autoimmune disorder of the small intestine. A free sample of Versace Eros perfume will be distributed with tomorrow’s magazine.

Pink is a monthly magazine, produced and published by Allied Newspapers Ltd and printed by Progress Press.
