Medical professionals play a crucial role in the early intervention and prevention of obesity and its related health conditions. The Australian Medical Association recognises bariatric surgery as an effective intervention for achieving long-term weight reduction and improved health outcomes. While bariatric surgery is primarily indicated for obese adults, in exceptional cases, adolescents with severe obesity and significant co-morbidities may also benefit substantially from surgical weight-loss interventions.
Overweight and obesity are highly prevalent in the Australian population, and their incidence continues to rise. According to data published by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2015), 70.8% of males and 56.3% of females in Australia are overweight or obese. Additionally, 27.4% of Australians aged 5–17 years fall into the overweight or obese category. Multiple studies indicate that obesity may have a familial component, with research showing that children of obese parents are more than twice as likely to develop obesity themselves.
Health Effects of Obesity
Obesity can affect your overall health. It is rapidly overtaking smoking as a major cause of preventable deaths in Australia. Here are a few of the adverse health effects of obesity.
It may result in several preventable and non-communicable diseases, including type 2 diabetes. It also contributes to chronic conditions such as heart disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, stroke, gastro-oesophageal reflux, sleep apnea, musculoskeletal disorders, and impaired psychosocial functioning.
It is known to shorten life expectancy and impair quality of life.
Obesity has also been linked to various forms of cancer, and there is a growing consensus that a significant portion of new cancer cases is related to being overweight or obese.

Benefits of Losing Weight and Weight Loss Surgery
The benefits of healthy weight and portion control are numerous and obvious.
Research has determined that there have been improvements and easier control of high blood pressure, sleep apnea, reflux, diabetes, cholesterol problems, and other health problems.
Everyone feels better physically and emotionally when their weight is under control.
Costs associated with medical intervention, health care costs, and medications are vastly reduced.
Physical activities that once weren’t possible, maybe possible once again.
It is, however, important to understand that weight loss should be gradual, sustained, and accompanied by careful attention to proper nutrition during this period. That is the reason why PSB provides a comprehensive post-surgical support program.
