to harm your health. A person is considered severely obese when his/her BMI is 35-39.9 and morbidly obese when it is >=40.
If things get this serious the excess weight puts your life at risk because it is usually accompanied by a large number of disorders known as co-morbidities. These have an adverse impact on both health and quality of life, and at the same time shorten life expectancy.
Since obesity is a chronic disease, its symptoms develop gradually. Obesity makes your everyday life difficult too - it causes joint pain, back aches, breathlessness and skin problems. Left untreated, obesity tends to become morbid and leads to other life threatening such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol levels, sleep apnoea and cancer.
You can beat obesity:
Yes, obesity can be treated. But it involves more than just swallowing a pill or sticking to a diet. It needs a multi-disciplinary assessment that sees several different specialists working together: Dietician, Endocrinologist, Psychologist, Physiotherapist, Internist, Family doctor and Bariatric surgery.
Treatments are tailored to meet the needs of each individual case:
Psychologist support
Diet and Behavioral therapy
Pharmacotherapy

If one person is morbidly obese and have tried other treatments without success, you might explore the obesity surgery option with a medical Surgery, combined with behavioral modification, is currently the only proven method of achieving long-term weight loss for the morbidly obese.
Obesity surgery, a solution worth considering:
You are eligible for obesity surgery if:
Your BMI is 40 or above
Your BMI is 35 or above and you have obesity-related health conditions (co-morbidities).
Some Obesity surgery option here in India:
Gastric banding:
A soft band is placed around the stomach, shaping it like an hourglass. This reduces the amount of food you can consume at one time and makes the person feels full sooner and for a longer time. The person, therefore eat less and so lose weight.
Gastric Bypass:
The size of the stomach is reduced and the digestion process is altered, so the person will:
Reduce the amount of food the person eats at any one meal
Absorb less food you do eat
Become intolerant to food he/she should avoid anyway.
Sleeve Gastrectomy:
The stomach is reduced to a narrow sleeve which significantly reduces hunger. He/ she also feel full quicky and remain full for a long time.
His/ her multi-disciplinary team (a group of physicians specialized in morbid obesity) will evaluate the best solution in his/ her particular case. And even after the operation, you will continue to be periodically monitored at the obesity surgery centre that performed the surgery. The operation, though, is just the first step in a major lifestyle change.
