Is It Possible to Lose Weight and Never Put It Back on Again

In a recent article, a national daily newspaper highlighted such an economic driven employer choice over the employment of an obese person.Employed in the highly skilled aeronautical maintenance industry, the 30 stone employee was a valued member of staff. The requirements of safe work access meant that all work was undertaken on either low raised stages or lifting platforms.

In Autumn 2009, the employee took a step from a platform, which was 1foot of off the ground, and fell. Taken to hospital, he was found to have twisted his ankle; the employer made a claim under their liability insurance.

After a four-week investigation during which the employee was not allowed to work, the insurance company effectively withdrew coverage around the employee (by raising the excess limit), on grounds of associated liability of his aid and assistance should he fall or injure himself again. Liability insurance is an essential of the aeronautical industry, meaning that the employee could only return to work in a lower skilled and hence lower paid office-based job. The company offered the employee the option of redundancy, which he took, and has since been unemployed for nine months.

However, there is a further twist: because he can technically work, the government are only paying him job seekers allowance and not disability benefit payments. This reduces his income by half, although until he loses weight, employers who presently take background checks are also concerned with their insurance liability coverage implications, even for non-aeronautical related positions.

So is there an economic argument for weight loss surgery for employment? The UK's Royal College of Surgeons thinks yes.

A study into bariatric surgery showed that if a quarter of obese patients had the size of their stomachs reduced, it would cost the NHS £546m. Analysis then by the Office of Health Economics estimated that the direct savings to the NHS would be £104M: a 5 year payback. But, as these people could now fully return to work, UK benefits payments would reduce by £482M per annum, and the increased economic activity from these now workers would increase UK GDP by £1.8billion, bringing national payback to below one year.
