I have gained about 90 lbs. since my kids were born 5 and 6 years ago. I am 5 ft. 4 inches and now weigh 230 lbs. What are the medical problems associated with this type of weight gain?
Morbid obesity (greater than 100 lbs. above ideal body weight) causes many medical problems. These include cardiovascular disease, such as heart attack and stroke, as well as diabetes and all the complications associated with diabetes, and arthritis. If you can not lose weight with traditional diet and exercise, bariatric surgery is an option.
