A member asked:
When a person is obese, is there abdominal squished or pushed up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Obesity: I do not fully understand the question. The obese person has an enlarged body and abdomen. Their organs are surrounded by excess fat cells and the organs may even have fatty infiltrates inside of the organ.
