Type 2 Diabetes, High blood pressure, Heart disease, Sleep apnea, osteoarthritis, etc... I used to be obese myself, and it's not such an easy task to fight. The gastric bypass operation seems to be beneficial for most, however, it's still taking a life-threatening risk. Obesity can be due to genetic, environmental, or psychological issues, so it may be easier to lose weight than others. Like anorexia and bulimia, it is also considered an eating disorder in that category.

The heart is interesting.  You can also bring in some of the common disorderes of the heart (depending on how long the project is...)\nThe site below will help you off to a good start...:D

Definately weight and obesity. Man.. after your questions yesterday, it got me thinking on the subject and holy hell are people super sensitive about that subject! It doesn't matter what the question or statement is, it seems folk go straight on the defensive without even comprehending it properly. They instantly take it personally when it isn't and cry abuse if you so much as discuss it. Even though, it's a serious health problem, it seems that we can not mention the fact that someone is overweight! Oh and god help you if you use the word 'Fat'!

Check the obesity help web site. They list just about every bariatric surgeon out there and have tons more info on the surgery as well.\nSounds like you had a tough year. I broke my tailbone last fall and it took me months to recover.  Being injured just sucks.

If you are talking about doing a project centered on diabetes, there are lots of options. Try being a little more specific in your question -- what kind of project you are looking to do? what class it's for? requirements for the project etc? \n\nI'll be glad to help you out anyway I can. I'm a grad student too so I know how it is trying to get all the projects done this time of the year. Good luck and best wishes....

I am overweight as well and have been trying walking to no avail and eliminating several foods (Starbucks, no sugar in coffee,etc.) but not seeming to work. One of my doctors has suggested Yoga, which I am signing up for and another doctor told me to get 5lb weights and do repititions on arm exercises and also do some squats. He said that until I worked my core and built up my muscles I was not going to see anything significant. Hope this helps. Good Luck and Blessings on your Wedding!

I answered a question quite similar to this for someone else just a few days ago ... here is what I wrote ....\n\n\nObesity leads to diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, disk disease, heart disease, varicose veins, gall bladder problems, pancreatitis. It contributes to joint problems such as bad hips and knees. People who are obese lose muscle tone because they don't move much. Breathing problems are common, shortness of breath, as well as sleep apnea, which can be very serious, sometimes fatal. Obesity can lead to depression or a persistent sense of sadness and unhappiness. There is also research to suggest obesity increases risk of certain kinds of cancer.\n\nI don't think it actually affects intelligence or height, though disk disease can eventually make you shorter. However, obese people may be viewed by society as being less intelligent because people sometimes react that way to someone who is different.\n\nIf the person lost the weight his body could get back to normal in most ways. Certainly health would be much improved. However losing a lot of weight can lead ot lots of loose or excess skin in different areas of the body. \n\nI hope this helps.  Take care.

A good project would be on either diet or excercize.  Teenagers tend to be very lazy, that is the age where their motabolism begins to slow down.  The first link is a great place for answering questions you may have about teen's health.  The second site is a good place to generate ideas about your project.  Maybe you want to be more specific than just "diet" or "excercize".  the third source is a very good place for facts and stats also.

I think you have your thesis: The subject has two sides. Maybe try something like: Gastric bypass surgery is a controversial technique with both benefits and risks.

Risk factors:\nBeing overweight \nAge- older than 65 \nFatty diet \nGenetics \nBeing a Native American or Hispanic \nHaving sickle cell anemia \nCrash dieting \n\nSince obesity is so closely linked, maintaining a normal weight is an important, especially for women. Avoiding high-fat meals and "yo-yo" weight-loss diets are also good ideas. If your background places you at high risk, avoid taking birth control pills or estrogen.\n\nIf your doctor thought that your attacks were on the severe side, or life threatening, he would have you in for an ultrasound immediately.  Try avoiding any fatty or sugary foods at least until you get in.

Remind those that make comments about your weight gain that it's due to the meds you've been on to help you get healthier. I know exactly how you feel! I have always been a size 4 until I got sick last October. I was on antibiotics and then steriods (Predisone is the worst!!!) and I've put on  weight. I try not to worry about what others think of me and my weight gain, I just remind myself that the weight can come back off!

Why you shouldn't eat fast food. I did a speech on this last semester and my professor and peers loved it. You can use clips from the movie "Super Size Me" as a visual aid.
