==Answer==
Answer f. Other comorbidities in the extremely obese population include
hypertension, right- and left-ventricular hypertrophy, Type II diabetes mellitus,
hyperlipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, restrictive lung disease due to
abdominal competition, hepatic steatosis, and increased risk of thromboembolic
disease. Interestingly, pediatric bariatric surgical patients do not appear to be at
increased risk for difficult intubation.
