• So the arrival of new weapons in the therapeutic arsenal is a source of hope.
• Support services of this kind do exist, but only in large university hospital centres to which many people do not have access.
• Nor do many people have easy access to healthy and varied food options, sports facilities or social and psychological support.
• Nor should we underestimate the challenge of adapting physically and psychologically to a body transformation of this scale.
