Abstract

Morbid obesity is a chronic disease of excess fat storage, characterised by premature death and obesity-associated co-morbidities. The results of the current non-surgical treatment to treat obesity are disappointing, but surgical approaches may achieve a durable and longstanding weight loss with resolution and improvement of co-morbidities. Gastrointestinal complaints and digestive complications may, however, increase and may require an actively involved gastroenterologist.

摘要

病态肥胖是一种脂肪过度储存的慢性疾病，其特征为过早死亡和与肥胖相关的合并症。目前用于治疗肥胖的非手术治疗结果令人失望，但手术方法可能实现持久且长期的体重减轻，并缓解和改善合并症。然而，胃肠道不适和消化并发症可能会增加，可能需要胃肠病学家积极参与。
