What is obesity surgery?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), overweight and obesity have reached epidemic proportions worldwide, and at least 2.8 million people die each year as a result.

Although previously considered a problem confined to high-income countries, obesity is now also prevalent in low- and middle-income countries, nearly tripling in prevalence between 1975 and 2016.

WHAT IS MORBID OBESITY?

Morbid obesity is the highest level of obesity. This type of obesity is associated with diseases related to excess weight, and this can lead to a decrease in a person’s life expectancy, lowering its quality by up to 20%.

Morbid obesity often brings with it serious diseases associated with obesity such as:

◊ Cardiovascular diseases
◊ Type II diabetes
◊ Respiratory diseases.
◊ In addition there are a myriad of other problems associated with being overweight such as:
– Fertility problems
– Osteoarticular alterations
– Gallstones
– Hirsutism
– Appearance of some type of cancer, etc.

This type of disease can improve or even be cured when the patient manages to reduce or eliminate excess weight.

The association of diabetes II, dyslipidemia (elevated cholesterol and triglycerides) and arterial hypertension, usually related to an excessively elevated abdominal perimeter, constitutes what is known today as themetabolic syndrome .

Metabolic syndrome usually cures or improves after weight normalization. That is why, in addition to obesity surgery, metabolic surgery is beginning to be discussed.

Overweight, like obesity, is characterized by an increase in body weight and is accompanied by an accumulation of fat in the body.

It is due to an imbalance between the amount of calories consumed in the diet and the amount of energy (in the form of calories) expended during physical activities.

Overweight itself is not a disease, but it is a condition that predisposes to the development of diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure (hypertension), elevated blood fats (dyslipidemias), heart attacks, strokes, some types of cancer and favors premature death.

Currently, according to nutritionists, the most reliable method to assess the health risks of being overweight is to measure waist circumference.
