Morbid obesity may lead to sleep apnea! The hot girl lost 52 kg and resumed cosplay

Obesity is the root of all diseases! When BMI ≥ 24, it is overweight; ≥ 27 is obese; and when it is ≥ 40, it is defined as "morbidly obese." E-Da Chang Hospital helped Miss Liu, a 100-kilogram morbidly obese beauty, to lose 52 kilograms and regain her interest in cosplay.

Dr. Song Tianzhou, deputy director of the Department of Surgery at E-Da Chang Hospital, said that "morbid obesity" is positively correlated with many chronic diseases, including diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, degenerative arthritis, high uric acid levels, etc., which can cause harm to health.

For example, most obese patients suffer from sleep apnea, and poor sleep quality affects their work performance. They may even lose power in the middle of a speech. I have even encountered a case where a truck driver fell asleep while driving and almost caused an accident. Therefore, the stereotype that obese people have poor work efficiency may have its origins.

Doctors point out that obesity is a high-risk factor for sleep apnea because excessive fat accumulation in the upper airway causes airway narrowing. Weight loss is the only non-invasive treatment method that has been proven to effectively eradicate sleep apnea and is also the first necessary condition for treating sleep apnea.

Miss Liu, the champion of the 6th Anniversary Star, was originally morbidly obese weighing 100 kilograms. Miss Liu shared with the doctor her unhappy experience before losing weight: "When I was obese, whenever I went for a job interview, the boss's first impression of me was that I was inefficient and would get in the way. In addition, I have been a cosplayer for 10 years, but because of my appearance anxiety and low self-esteem, I was always afraid of other people's eyes and words. In order to lose weight, I fell into the cycle of dieting-binge eating-vomiting. Instead, I lost more and more weight to the point that my body, mind and spirit were unhealthy."

After successfully losing 52 kg, she also shared with her doctor the changes she experienced after losing weight: "After losing weight, not only did the interviewer think I was experienced, but they also trusted me more. Exercise and proper eating habits also helped me find the focus of my life. I made friends smoothly and even fulfilled my interest in cosplay. All of this made me very happy. The praise from friends, the recognition from colleagues, the encouragement from family and the support from my personal trainer made me not regret my decision."

In order to encourage people who suffer from obesity not to be afraid to seek formal medical help, and to let the public view obesity from the perspective of a disease and tear off negative labels, the Slimming and Health Center of E-Da Chang Hospital holds an anniversary star selection contest every year, inviting successful weight loss patients to bravely express themselves and inspire more people with their own stories. At the same time, through the promotion of activities, the public can pay attention to the issue of obesity. The 6th champion, Miss Liu, was originally a morbidly obese person weighing 100 kilograms. Two years after the operation, she still maintained 55 kilograms and became a confident new beauty!
