We can briefly define obesity as excessive fat accumulation in the body.
The most commonly used criterion to measure this is body mass index, we can call it BMI or BMI for short. A BMI between 18.5 and 25 is normal, and a BMI below 18.5 is considered underweight and above 25 is considered slightly overweight. Above 30, we call it obesity, between 30-35, we call it 1st degree obesity, and between 35-40, we call it 2nd degree obesity. Above 40 is called morbid obesity, and from here on, obesity is a life-threatening issue. Above 50 is called super obesity and over 60 is called super super obesity. Obesity is tried to be treated by taking into account BMI, the person’s health status and wishes. The priority, of course, is to lose weight through increased diet and exercise. However, in case of unsuccessful diet attempts more than 2 times and unsuccessful dieting for more than 6 months, there is no need to insist on further dieting. If your BMI is over 35 and there is an additional disease (such as hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea) or if your BMI is over 40, in case of morbid obesity, surgical treatment, that is, sleeve gastrectomy, has become a situation that should not be discussed with the patient. So what should lower vki groups do? Especially the BMI group between 27-33. Gastric balloon and gastric botox are options for this group. Gastric balloon is also an important option for groups with higher BMI who do not want surgery or for whom surgical intervention is too risky.
