Obesity Surgery 101 Q&A
Today, the number of adults diagnosed with obesity (severe overweight) worldwide is over 300 million. Obesity, a serious disease, creates physical discomfort, and in both women and men, it poses a risk for diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, stroke, and certain types of cancer. The negative health consequences of obesity range from an increased risk of premature death to serious chronic risks that decrease overall quality of life.
