In surgical diseases, obesity is a significant risk factor for wound infection, more surgical blood loss and a longer post-operative time and increased risk of venous thromboembolism due to impairment of cardiac, pulmonary, and immunological functions. Underweight patients are at more risk for post-operative complications, including long term mortality. We obtained data prospectively from 1540 patients attending General surgery OPD from October 2022-December 2022 in Victoria hospital. Height, weight, BMI was calculated after Detailed history and clinical examination is noted. we found that hernias and varicose veins were more common with the patients with more weight. Obese patients more tend to have hernias than normal weight patients. Most patients with breast lumps belong to obese grade 2 class. In developing countries like india, where there is a stage of nutritional transition particularly in urban areas, the problems of undernutrition and over-nutrition should be addressed.
