¢ Describe the relationship between obesity and
its comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes and
OSA, as well as its effect on quality of life
* Evaluate the clinical options to reduce obesity
and related comorbidities
+ Develop patient counseling techniques and
referral practices aimed at increasing the
appropriate use of bariatric surgery to treat
obesityWhy Treat Obesity?
