What is Obesity? Obesity is a life-long progressive, life threatening condition marked by the excess accumulation of body fat, which can significantly reduce life expectancy. When weight reaches extreme levels, it is called MORBID OBESITY and is a chronic condition with numerous medical, psychological and social consequences.
Now you want to know if you are obese or not, and this is easy, all you want is to measure your weight in Kilograms (kg) and your height in meters (m), and then use this formula -
This formula will give you your body mass index (BMI). The obesity is diagnosed when the (BMI) is 30 or more. Now look to this table below to know more about the (BMI).
Causes of Obesity The balance between calorie intake and energy expenditure determines a person's weight. If a person eats more calories than he or she burns (metabolizes), the person gains weight. The most common causes of obesity are - • Overeating • Genetics • Physical inactivity • Pregnancy • Lack of Sleep • Medical Conditions • A diet high in simple carbohydrates
How can Obesity affect you? • Type II Diabetes • Heart Disease • Hypertension • Infertility • Sleep Apnea • Certain cancers • Hypercholesterolemia • Liver and kidney disorders • Joint Pain/Osteoarthritis/Gout • Depression and anxiety disorders • Respiratory disorders • Gastro-esophageal reflux disease
Why should consider Weight Loss Surgery? Because it works! Surgical treatment for obesity is the only treatment that reliably produces significant and sustained weight loss. People with clinically severe obesity are at great risk for developing many associated medical conditions. Research has shown that surgical treatment results in significant weight loss and improvement in most problems associated with obesity. Surgical treatment for clinically severe obesity has been endorsed by the National Institutes of Health, the World Health Organization, the American Heart Association, the American Dietetic Association, and the American Obesity Association.
What are the outcomes of weight loss surgery? Weight loss by any means often results in considerable improvement or complete resolution of most obesity related medical conditions. The degree of improvement is not necessarily related to the amount of weight loss. "Improvement" refers to a reduced requirement for treatment, whereas "complete resolution" implies a cure. Dramatic improvement occurs in abnormalities associated with diabetes. Within days of surgery, fasting blood-sugar levels are normal, blood levels of insulin are lower, and most patients are able to be discharged without insulin. There is also improvement in hypertension, blood lipids, and sleep apnea in a large percentage of patients.
How much weight can one expect to lose after surgery? Most patients lose between 50 to 70 percent of their excess body weight over about one to one and half years. Some reach their ideal weight but most don't. Excess body weight is the weight above your ideal body weight.
Can gain the weight back? Long-term results after sleeve gastric to my and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass have shown that patients usually regain less than 15 percent of the weight they lost after ten years. However, if you go back to your old eating habits and don't exercise at all, you might gain more than that.
