Ted’s healthcare practitioner has recommended that he undergo surgery as his first treatment. what could be the likely reason? ted’s bmi is above 50.

The reason is that Ted has obesity at very high levels. He is superobese.

Explanation:

Superobese are people with Body Mass Index (BMI) over 50, like Ted. These people have extremely high body fat and will require surgery. People with this condition carry, in addition to a high predictor of mortality, a higher risk of physical or sexual abuse, food dependence and substance abuse.

Since these people are in a very serious situation, surgery is the best option for them. The idea is that they lose some weight before surgery, a loss of 7.2% of total weight before surgery can result, after 12 months, in a loss of up to 74% of previous weight. And who ends up gaining weight in the preoperative period will have more difficulty losing weight after the procedure.

when you rub, you also apply pressure, that pressure can urge the poop to come out. i think that when your rubbing, you also might be slightly breaking it up and that can further fill the stomach.
