Obesity and Bariatric

Obesity is a medical condition characterized by the excessive accumulation of body fat, to the extent that it may have a negative impact on health. It is typically assessed using the Body Mass Index (BMI), a calculation based on a person’s weight and height. Obesity is associated with a higher risk of various health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, certain types of cancer, and joint issues.

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is a surgical approach used to treat severe obesity in individuals who have not been successful with other weight loss methods such as diet and exercise. Bariatric surgery aims to achieve significant and sustained weight loss, which can lead to improvements in obesity-related health conditions and quality of life.
