<s>[INST] What are the best treatment options for Morbid Obesity? [/INST] The primary goal for managing and treating obesity is to decrease a patient's medical risk and improve the quality of life. A weight management program combines physical activity, diet, behavioral modification, psychological counseling, and sometimes drug therapy to help patients achieve weight loss or prevent further weight gain. Bariatric or Metabolic Surgery is generally reserved for patients who have repeatedly failed to lose weight by all other means (diet, exercise, behavioral, and drug therapy). Surgical treatment is medically necessary because it is the only proven method of achieving long term weight control for the morbidly obese. Surgical treatments are now safe, can be performed key-hole and as day-care procedures. Surgical procedures give significant loss of excess weight and can reverse conditions like joint pain, breathlessness, snoring, infertility, sexual dysfunction, urine incontinence, headaches, and migraines, etc. Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery is the only modality that can totally reverse or improve diseases like diabetes, blood pressure, high cholesterol or lipids, kidney dysfunction, osteoarthritis etc which are secondary to obesity Source: LOC.
