Obesity is described as the excessive accumulation of fat that exceeds the body’s skeletal and physical standards. Obesity is measured by body mass index (BMI).

BMI grades obesity into overweight (25-30), obese (30-35), super obese (35-40) & morbid obesity (40 or more). It becomes a serious health risk when it becomes morbid. In such cases the patient is susceptible to serious diseases (co-morbidities) like chronic heart disease, respiratory diseases, diabetes, hypertension, arthritis, sleep apnoea or infertility.

If you are tired of trying all other treatments without much success, you might explore the surgical option. It is the only proven method of achieving long term weight control effectively.
