In 2013 the American Medical Association recognized obesity as a disease. The Obesity Society and the Obesity Medicine Association have also issued statements defining obesity as a disease. Unfortunately, most clinicians have received little or no education about obesity. Obesity management strategies begin with lifestyle changes and counseling, if needed the addition of pharmacotherapy, and if these measures are ineffective, referral to an obesity medicine specialist and possibly referral to a metabolic and bariatric surgeon. However, many patients are not offered these recommended management strategies.
