Q: Morbidly obese ?

An eighteen year old girl who is 5'5 and 227 pounds to be morbidly obese?

A friend of mine has been having health problems and she has done some research that has told her that morbid obesity could be a cause of many of them.

Remember, morbid obesity is a DISEASE, and I'm not on here to have people tell me "yeah, she's fat".

Thank you.

Yes, her weight and height, she is considered morbidly obese.

With that said it can create all kinds of health issues however once the weight begins to come off most diseases will disappear as well.
