Obesity is defined as having a weight significantly higher than what is considered healthy for one’s height. The Body Mass Index (BMI) is commonly used to quantify obesity. The prevalence of obesity is rising rapidly, particularly among younger populations. Obesity is a significant risk factor for various health conditions, including hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and heart disease. Many patients turn to surgical options to address obesity after conservative measures have been ineffective, leading to significant weight loss.
