Obesity today is recognised as a health problem of epidemic proportions. Obesity refers to a spectrum of problems of excess weight ranging from mild overweight to the morbidly obese. Patients with morbid obesity do not respond to medical means of weight loss. Efforts to treat morbid obesity through controlled diets, behaviour modification and exercise programs are only temporarily successful with the patient invariably regaining even more weight than the amount lost. Obesity surgery is the only method by which long-term weight loss can be achieved in these patients. Seven to nine percent (7-9%) people in India are overweight, of which 20 – 25% are morbidly obese which amounts to a staggering 2 – 2.5 million people. Incidence of child hood obesity is on the rise due to changing lifestyles. These people are more likely to develop obesity related complications at an earlier age.
If not addressed today this problem is likely to compound imposing heavily on medical resources.

Obesity is defined as having an excessive amount of body fat. Obesity is more than just a cosmetic concern, though. It increases your risk of diseases and health problems such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure.
Doctors often use a formula based on your height and weight called the body mass index (BMI) to determine if you are obese.
BMI Weight status
Below 18.5 Underweight
18.5 – 24.9 Normal
25.0 – 29.9 Overweight
30.0 and higher Obese
40.0 and higher Extreme obesity
Being extremely obese means you are especially likely to have health problems related to your weight.
The best thing is that even modest weight loss can improve or prevent the health problems associated with obesity.
