Bariatric surgery is increasingly recognized as an attractive and viable treatment option for those who are morbidly obese. Clinically morbid obesity is a true disease state. It is a disease with a strong genetic component (25 to 50%), often characterized by an overactive appetite center in the brain that results in excessive fat stores in the body. It is not a disorder of willpower, as sometimes implied.
