hyperobesity
Severe excess weight
Hyperobesity is extreme obesity, typically defined as a body mass index of 50 or above—well beyond standard obesity thresholds.
The term appears in medical contexts to distinguish patients whose weight poses especially severe surgical and health risks: Hyperobesity complicates anesthesia and recovery.
Sometimes called super obesity or morbid obesity class III.
