Obesity is increasing in the American population in epidemic proportions. Weight reduction surgery results in sustained weight loss for morbidly obese individuals-a group of patients refractory to nonsurgical obesity treatment. Surgical indications were outlined in a National Institutes of Health (NIH) consensus conference published in 1991. Using the NIH criteria, we compared the socioeconomic characteristics of the population eligible for these operations to those receiving them.
