A member asked:
What health strategy would be appropriate for an obese individual with a bmi of 40?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multi approach: Hi. The approach depends on what obesity-related diseases you have. Healthy lifestyle (healthy diet, regular exercise, don't smoke) in all cases. Drug therapy or bariatric surgery are very valid considerations. Obesity injures and kills. Good luck!
