Recently the media broke the news that the deputy director of a county social security bureau in Hainan was sleeping in a meeting and was removed from his position on the spot. In the past, the media also often broke such news. It is where the media exploded such material, the public or regarded as a laughing stock, or indignant. Everyone would think that the officials are incompetent and should be removed from office. In fact, it is not that these officials are not interested in the meeting and do not have a sense of responsibility, but a pathology that is due to a kind of metabolic syndrome caused by obesity: sleep apnea. Sleep apnea is a syndrome in which breathing stops briefly during sleep. It is mainly manifested by severe snoring and holding awake during sleep. It is mostly seen in middle-aged obese people. These people fall asleep easily in a slightly resting state and with severe snoring. Usually, they fall asleep during meetings and other relatively stationary states. One obese patient told me that when he was playing poker, he would fall asleep when the other player was a little slow. These people will also fall asleep while driving at a red light. So there are media reports green light, the vehicle does not move, the traffic police went over to see, the driver fell asleep. In fact, this is a morbid reaction caused by obesity. Obesity is usually accompanied by metabolic syndrome, including type 2 diabetes, hypertension, polycystic ovary syndrome and sleep apnea. Weight loss surgery is not only effective in reducing weight, but also in controlling metabolic syndrome, including severe snoring. Often snoring improves significantly within a short time after weight loss surgery. We have many patients who come to the clinic because they are obese and fall asleep easily at rest. This embarrassing problem has been completely solved after weight loss surgery. Some fat friends after weight loss surgery say with emotion: now they are not afraid of meetings and car rides and can work normally. Doing weight loss surgery is the most correct decision in life. For party and government leaders, organizational departments, should understand that obese people sleeping in meetings is a pathology, should not see officials sleeping in meetings to remove from office. Rather, measures should be taken to limit the weight gain of officials and actively treat sleep apnea. The team of officials should not only be young and knowledgeable, but also use weight as an important indicator for promotion and appointment.
