Yes.: IBD does not know how much you weigh and does not discriminate. Bad IBD can cause significant weight loss. The colonoscopy and endoscopy are frequently suggestive and often diagnostic.

Overweight IBD: Obesity in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) was previously felt to be a rare occurrence; however, in the last two decades it has become increasingly prevalent. Obesity poses two distinct challenges: (1) increased medical co-morbidity and higher risk of complications;(2) increased anatomical challenges and technical complexity.
