| Abstract | Patients with severe obesity tend to have higher rates of morbidities which can complicate and even lengthen their hospital admission course. Hospitals which do not have the resources to efficiently manage bariatric patients due to equipment weight-restrictions should be proactive in their care and knowledgeable about their options to avoid long delays in treatment. Amid this obesity epidemic, the neurologist plays a role in the inpatient management of patients with severe obesity and could serve as a channel to improve the quality of care and reduce the length of stay. We present a case of a patient with severe obesity who presented with visual loss secondary to idiopathic intracranial hypertension. The patient's treatment was delayed several weeks from the time of admission until his weight decreased enough to safely undergo CT imaging in the operating room, developing complications throughout the course of his stay. This paper highlights the identified barriers of care and potential solutions to ensure improvement in the quality of care of patients with severe obesity, in order to reduce preventable complications.
