What is obesity?

If you are considered overweight or obese, you are not alone. Obesity is a growing epidemic. Today, in the U.S., 32.5% of adults are considered overweight and 36.5% are considered obese. 

Obesity is an excessive accumulation of fat that presents a risk to a person’s health and is considered present with a body mass index (BMI) of 30 and over. Calculate my BMI.

Carrying too much extra weight can lead to multiple diseases and medical conditions, including:

  • Heart disease and stroke
  • High blood pressure
  • Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) or non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH)
  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)
  • Sleep apnea
  • Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
  • Osteoarthritis (joint pain)
  • Increased cancer risk
  • Fatigue
  • Depression
  • Type II diabetes

How can the HonorHealth Endobariatric team help you?

The Endobariatric team at HonorHealth offers a variety of minimally invasive and leading-edge procedures to help you achieve your weight loss goals.

  • Transoral outlet reduction is a revision procedure which reduces the size of the outlet of the stomach following a gastric bypass surgery to address problems such as weight regain or inadequate weight loss.
  • Sleeve-in-sleeve revision is a gastric sleeve procedure which reshapes and resizes the existing sleeve stomach to address problems such as weight regain or inadequate weight loss.
