Obesity is a complex problem and can lead to serious health problems such as diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. When diet and exercise aren't enough, individuals struggling with obesity (those with a BMI over 30) may consider weight loss procedures in order to help them get back to a healthy weight.
