Morbid Obesity Treatment

Treating morbid obesity involves a combination of lifestyle changes, medical management, and sometimes surgical intervention. Initially, patients are encouraged to adopt healthier eating habits, increase physical activity, and address underlying psychological factors. When these are insufficient, doctors may recommend medications to reduce appetite or absorption of calories. In more severe cases, bariatric surgery, such as gastric bypass or sleeve gastrectomy, may be performed to limit food intake or nutrient absorption. The goal is to reduce health risks associated with obesity, improve quality of life, and support long-term weight management through a multidisciplinary approach tailored to each individual.
