Abstract

Morbid obesity is a worldwide pandemic. Medical problems associated with being obese include hypertension, diabetes, pulmonary restrictive disease, obstructive sleep apnea, and increased risk of cancer. In addition, there is a tremendous financial burden on society and the health care system to take care of these individuals. Bariatric surgery has proved to be a safe, effective means of sustained weight loss, which can lead to improvement or resolution of obesity-related medical conditions. Individuals who are morbidly obese represent a unique population requiring special consideration when presenting for medical care.
