Medical Matters: Understanding Obesity, BMI, and Bariatric Surgery

You've mentioned the politicians.

We need politicians.

We need government to take this pandemic.

Even our cops.

Yeah.

Our cops.

I've been watching the various marches that are taking place and everybody's marching now and then you see the cops that are supposed to walk with the people that are marching and you say that guy

hasn't missed too many lunches laughter But again, that's the thing that again, I want us to talk to that, the stigma.

Yes.

Again, I won't call you out.

Sure.

I won't call you out.

Sure.

The stigma, we're laughing about it.

But the stigma associated with obesity, it's a big problem.

Because patients then fail to seek help because they want to be laughed at.

And there is enough data to show that people that are obese are discriminated against.

Yes.

In lots of things, in work environment, trying to get the promotion, in sports activities, in finance, imagine in finance, in sales.

In sales, you come in and you're busy.

They look at you, you don't fit the profile of what we want.

Yes.

So let's talk about it.

Let's do that.

I think it's important.
