Surgical Treatment of Obesity Over Time

For centuries, obesity has been associated with well-being, strength, fertility and health. Obesity was accepted as an aesthetic problem in the late 19th century and as a health problem in the 20th century. Awareness that obesity is a serious health problem is only a few decades (50-75) years old. If the current trend continues, it is predicted that overweight and obese individuals will make up 60% of the world’s population by 2030. The most effective and long-term treatment of obesity is surgery. The aim of surgery is not to achieve good cosmetic results, but to treat obesity-related diseases together with weight loss.
