What Is Morbid Obesity?
We Can Help.
Morbid obesity is a serious medical condition. If you are morbidly obese, it means that you are severely overweight by at least 100 pounds. It also means that you have excessive amounts of body fat compared to healthy standards.
Knowing whether or not you are morbidly obese is important. This condition puts you at very high risk for a host of serious medical problems, including high blood pressure, diabetes and heart disease. Being morbidly obese may also hamper your ability to get around, expose you to possible discrimination or social stigma and may lower your self-esteem.
