Weight Loss Surgery In Los Angeles

Definition of Morbid Obesity

Not only is obesity a serious disease, it is also quite insidious as symptoms can build slowly over an extended period of time. As definied by The National Institutes of Health (NIH), characteristics of morbid obesity include:

Being in excess of 100 pounds of your ideal body weight
Or, having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or greater
Or, having a BMI of 35 or greater and one or more co-morbid condition

As a result of morbid obesity simple physical functions such as breathing and walking are often impaired and long-term implications often include shorter life expectancy, serious health consequences including type 2 diabetes and heart disease, and a lower quality of life with fewer economic and social opportunities.

For those living with morbid obesity, bariatric surgery should be considered as a method of treatment—especially for those who have tried other long-term methods for weight loss and achieved no success. Often referred to as weight loss surgery, bariatric surgery has changed the lives of more than 800,000 patients within the last six years.
