Brits in an increasing number seem to keep patience at bay to banish the Christmas bulge. Christmas calls for over indulgence and Britishers prefer the knife to daunting dieting process to shed the extra pounds gained during the festive season.

"Christmas can be a depressing time once the guilt sets in after a period of over-indulgence," the Daily Star quoted Transform spokesman Shami Thomas, as saying.

Liposuction tops the enquiries with an 21 percent while gastric band calls attributed just 2 percent to 8 percent of the over all enquiries to banish the British bulges.
