AB Obesity  is  an  ever-increasing  problem  both  in  the  United  States  and  worldwide.  In  2014,  6,  the  World  Health  Organization  reported  13%  of  adults  to  be  obese  and  39%  overweight.1  In  the  United  States,  nearly  40%  of  the  adult  population  suffers  from  obesity.2  The  trend  of  increasing  obesity  continues  to  be  disproportionately  higher  with  increasing  body  mass  index  (BMI),  with  the  highest  growth  in  the  super  morbidly  obese  population.3  Obesity-related  conditions  include  diabetes,  heart  disease,  and  stroke,  which  are  some  of  the  leading  causes  of  preventable  death.  Nonalcoholic  fatty  liver  disease  (NAFLD)  that  develops  from  obesity  is  associated  with  a  higher  mortality  and  liver-related  deaths.495%  prevalence  of  NAFLD  in  obese  patients  who  had  bariatric  operations  have  been  reported.4
