| morbid obesity |
A disease in which excess weight begins to interfere with basic physiological functions such as breathing and walking. Generally, it can be defined as weighing 100 pounds more then your ideal weight. A more precise indicator, however, is a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or greater. In addition, a BMI of 35-39.9 with significant comorbidities can qualify for weight loss surgery.
