Can anyone contribute what they have found on defining morbid obesity OTHER than the BMI guidelines?
 
According to my Coder's Desk Reference for ICD-9

Definition of Morbid Obesity

"defined as obesity in which the patient weighs at least double the ideal weight as seen on standardized weight charts"
