The Impact Of Obesity

​Obesity is emerging as a health epidemic around the world. According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, obesity is rapidly spreading across all regions and demographic groups. An estimated 97 million adults in the United States are overweight or obese. ​That figure represents more than 50% of the American adult population. ​​Of this group, 11 million adults suffer from severe obesity. Obesity is an excess of total body fat, which results from caloric intake that exceeds energy usage.

A measurement used to assess health risks of obesity is Body Mass Index (BMI). The American Obesity Association reports that obese individuals have a 50-100% increased risk of death as compared to normal weight individuals, with 300,000 to 587,000 deaths each year. This substantial increase in health risks has made obesity the second leading cause of preventable death in the United States.

Dr Willingham is a visiting Surgeon at all the hospital facilities in Toowoomba, and his rooms are located in the Downs Specialist Centre. Dr Willingham has a keen interest in bariatric or weight loss surgery and enjoys the transformative effect this can have on his patient’s lives. He was the first surgeon to introduce minimally invasive keyhole techniques for weight loss surgery in the region. His other clinical interests include: • Gastroscopy • Colonoscopy • Laparoscopic gastrointestinal and gallbladder surgery • Bariatric Surgery • Colorectal Surgery • Hernia Surgery • Anti reflux and hiatus hernia surgery
