Severe obesity is a chronic, metabolic condition affecting nearly 16 million
Americans. Obesity is caused by a number of factors, but is most closely linked
to genetics. Sufferers are at least 100 pounds over their ideal weight, putting
them at high risk for stroke, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and
other weight-related conditions.
Rarely can individuals lose weight or sustain weight loss without long-term,
medical treatment. This is where the bariatric experts at Aurora Health Care can
help. If you have exhausted other weight loss options and are dedicated to
changing your lifestyle, bariatric surgery may be a viable option for you.
