根据在一家大型医院的外科体重管理诊所通过观察和访谈收集的民族志数据，本文认为，虽然管理肥胖手术的核心价值观（肥胖 = 健康状况不佳;肥胖手术 = 减肥;减肥 = 改善健康和节省成本）可以被视为管理临床遭遇，这些集合方程的奇异性既不反映肥胖症手术患者经历的复杂性，也不反映“向肥胖宣战”本身并不严格遵守这些原则。借鉴Annemarie摩尔的概念的身体倍数，并专注于三种不同形式的过剩（超重，过量消费和多余的皮肤），出现在研究过程中，本文认为，合理化的单一性肥胖，制定在肥胖手术诊所的风险模糊固有的不确定性，这些做法和道德判断和价值观，最终是无法摆脱的。
Drawing on ethnographic data gathered through observations and interviews at a surgical weight management clinic in a large hospital, this article argues that while the core values governing the provision of obesity surgery (obesity = ill health; obesity surgery = weight loss; weight loss = improved health and cost savings) can be seen as governing the clinical encounter, the singularity of these collective equations reflects neither the complexity of the patient experience of obesity surgery nor the extent to which the ‘war on obesity’ itself does not adhere strictly to those principles. Drawing on Annemarie Mol’s concept of the body multiple, and focusing on three different forms of excess (excess weight, excess consumption and excess skin) that emerged in the course of the study, this article argues that the rationalised singularity of obesity that is enacted in the obesity surgery clinic risks obscuring the uncertainties inherent to those practices and the moral judgements and values that are ultimately inextricable from them.
