Obesity surgery

Surgeons want obesity operations to be more widely available. They say early surgery would save the NHS money in the long run.

And there's a reprieve for some of Suffolk's waste recycling centres.

Shaw Somers, the surgeon who operated on Ipswich man, Paul Mason - once dubbed the fattest man in Britain - tells us why gastric band surgery could save the NHS millions.

Two women from Felixstowe who've had obesity surgery tell us what it's actually like to go under the knife.

Some of Suffolk's waste recycling centres have been saved for now. We hear why from Suffolk County Council.

Plus Paul Jewell looks back on Ipswich Town's 3-all draw against Middlesbrough at Portman Road.
