Obesity is one of the biggest health concerns of the 21st century. In the United States alone, nearly two-thirds of the adult population is considered obese by the American Obesity Association. Obesity is the worst cause of disease in the Western world. It leads to early death in more people than nearly any other cause. The quality of life obese men and women do have is severely affected due to the physical and social problems generated by the disease. It costs communities a great deal of money because of the direct and indirect effects of the health problems associated with obesity.
If losing weight solves even some of these problems, and if we can find an acceptable and effective way to lose weight, society as a whole should go for it. We are combating the national obesity crisis by giving patients a powerful tools proven to go above and beyond of what diets and medications offer for lasting weight loss.
Millions of Americans fall into morbidly obese category due to our dietary and increasingly sedentary life style. Morbidly obese means, somebody over 100 Lbs of their ideal weight or calculated BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 and over. Patients with BMI of over 35 who are suffering from co-morbidities such as Type II Diabetes, Sleep Apnea, Hypertension and Arthritis can be considered for one of the Bariatric procedures as well.
According to American Society of Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), Bariatric surgery is known to be the most effective and long lasting treatment for morbid obesity and many related conditions, but now mounting evidence suggests it may be among the most effective treatments for metabolic diseases and conditions including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and obstructive sleep apnea.
