The Trevose Behavior Modification Program, serving about 1,200 people in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Florida, is the first weight loss program in the country proven to work long term, according to researchers at Rutgers University and University of Pennsylvania.

This website is intended as a source for those patients seeking information regarding obesity surgery including the laparoscopic gastric bypass and the Lap-Band (laparoscopic adjustable band). Carolina Weight Loss Surgery is located in Concord, NC, USA and specializes in the practice of laparoscopic obesity surgery. Morbid obesity is defined as the maintenance of body weight to such an extent that it significantly increases the risk for the development of other medical illnesses and the shortening of life span. A weight greater than 100 pounds over ideal body weight and/or those persons whose body mass index (BMI) (weight in pounds x 703/height in inches x height in inches) is greater than 40 qualify as super obese and are considered candidates for weight loss surgery. Patients who feel they have exhausted all efforts at medical, dietary, and exercise approaches may be candidates for obesity surgery. Patients with medical illnesses associated with obesity (Diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, arthritis/degenerative joint disease, hypertension, sleep apnea, coronary artery disease) or conditions made more severe with obesity are considered surgical candidates at a BMI of 35. Weight loss surgery can reduce if not eliminate these comorbidities, lengthen lifespan, and return the enjoyment of everyday activities to the patient.

Treatment of obesity in adults is notoriously frustrating for patients and physicians alike, and it rarely meets with long-term success. Thus, prevention is the best hope for decreasing the prevalence of this condition. In many obese people, the roots of their disorder can be traced back to childhood. Obesity tends to "track" throughout life, meaning that its presence at any age will increase the risk of persistence at subsequent ages. While most obese infants will not remain so, they are at increased risk of becoming obese children. These children are in turn more likely to become obese adolescents, who are then very likely to remain obese as adults. See editorial on page 758.

Their work, published in the British medical journal The Lancet, is the latest in a string of studies warning that American teenagers are increasingly putting their health at risk by consuming too much junk food. "We found that for every additional serving per day of soft drink consumed, the risk of becoming obese increased by about 50 percent," researcher David Ludwig of Children's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, told Reuters. MESSAGE BOARD Are you concerned about your child's weight and nutrition? Obesity can lead to heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. The U.S. government has become so concerned about overweight children that last year it issued new growth charts to help parents and doctors identify kids at risk of becoming obese.

Obesity Return to the tutorial menu. General Principles At the beginning of the 21st century, for the first time in human history, more of the earth's population suffers from too much food, rather than from lack of food. This has resulted in an increasing number of persons who are obese. This is a problem even amongst children. Over half of persons in the U.S. are overweight enough to be defined as obese. This number increased by 50% in the last decade of the 20th century. There are a multitude of health complications from obesity. How does obesity occur? The formula is simple: Food eaten - exercise = weight gained Another way of explaining the situation: Delicious, calorie dense food + sedentary lifestyle = obesity There is ordinarily a modest amount of calories burned to maintain normal body metabolic processes. In general, for a normal healthy adult to maintain body weight with just activities of daily living, caloric intake must be limited to 10 calories (kcal) per pound (22 calories per kg). Thus, a 150 lb (68 kg) person needs about 1500 calories (kcal) per day to avoid gaining weight. Exercise can increase caloric use, and exercise has a "carryover effect" to increase metabolism and burn more calories after exercise. Of course, growing children require more calories. Exercise can burn calories (average for a standard 70 kg person) as follows: Activity (moderate) kcal/minute chewing gum walking cycling dancing ice skating swimming jogging shovelling A good aerobic exercise with cardiovascular benefit is to climb 10 flights of stairs once a day. Just brisk walking for 20 minutes a day can have major benefits.

The campaign follows similar moves by McDonald's to persuade French consumers not to eat too much of its food. In France the fast food giant has run "advertorials" in women's magazines featuring comments about diet and advice from nutritionists. The latest scheme is designed to reduce obesity among children in a country where 60% of the population is classified as overweight or obese, and more than 300,000 deaths each year are attributed to obesity-related illnesses.

ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) Taxpayers foot the doctor's bill for more than half of obesity-related medical costs, which reached a total of $75 billion in 2003, according to a new study. The public pays about $39 billion a year or about $175 per person for obesity through Medicare and Medicaid programs, which cover sicknesses caused by obesity including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, several types of cancer and gallbladder disease. The study, to be published Friday in the journal Obesity Research, evaluates state-by-state expenditures related to weight problems. The research was done by the nonprofit group RTI International and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Obesity has become a crucial health problem for our nation, and these findings show that the medical costs alone reflect the significance of the challenge," said Tommy Thompson, secretary for the Department of Health and Human Services. "Of course, the ultimate cost to Americans is measured in chronic disease and early death."
