Globally, the prevalence of obesity is increasing at an alarming rate. Today, more than 1.1 billion adults worldwide are overweight, and 312 million of them are obese. In addition, at least 155 million children worldwide are overweight or obese. As per WHO by 2015, approximately 2.3 billion adults will be overweight and more than 700 million will be obese
Obesity carries a higher incidence of chronic illness including diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep apnea, thyroids, joint pains and cancers. About 18 million people die every year from cardiovascular disease, for which diabetes and hypertension are major predisposing factors. Propelling the upsurge in cases of diabetes and hypertension is the growing prevalence of overweight and obesity. So, it is important to treat obesity, root cause of many diseases
This is a story of one of the patient who had been successfully treated by weight loss surgery. Mr Smith (name changed) had been gaining weight since he was in high school level. His weight was 355 pound with BMI value 45.7. He had history of blood sugar and thyroids. He had tried various weight loss options like diet control, exercise and certain drugs but didn’t sustain weight loss for a long period.
