Morbid obesity is not just a weight issue; it’s a complex disease that gradually develops over time, posing severe health risks. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) outlines the criteria for morbid obesity, which includes being 100 pounds over your ideal body weight, having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or greater, or a BMI of 35 or greater accompanied by one or more co-morbid conditions. Calculate your BMI here.

Morbid obesity significantly affects basic physical functions, such as breathing and walking, leading to a domino effect of health issues and a potentially reduced lifespan. Those affected may face dire health consequences, including type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and a compromised quality of life marked by limited economic and social opportunities.

Understanding morbid obesity is the first step towards recognizing its severity and the necessity for comprehensive medical intervention. This condition requires a holistic approach to treatment, considering both the physical and psychological aspects of health, to improve the well-being and life expectancy of those affected.

Bariatric surgery stands as a beacon of hope for individuals grappling with morbid obesity, particularly for those who have found little success with traditional weight loss methods. This surgical intervention, commonly known as weight loss surgery, has revolutionized the health and lives of over 800,000 people in the last six years alone.

• Restrictive: Limits food intake.
• Malabsorptive: Reduces nutrient absorption.
• Combination: Incorporates both restrictive and malabsorptive techniques.

These surgical strategies are designed not only to facilitate significant weight loss but also to enhance or completely alleviate co-morbid conditions associated with obesity, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
