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.
