Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery encompasses a range of surgical procedures aimed at helping individuals achieve significant weight loss and improve overall health.

This type of surgery is typically recommended for individuals who are severely obese and have not achieved substantial weight loss through diet, exercise, or medication. Common bariatric procedures include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric banding (Lap-Band), and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch.

These surgeries work by altering the digestive system to reduce food intake or absorption. For instance, gastric bypass surgery involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the digestive tract, which limits food intake and reduces nutrient absorption.

Sleeve gastrectomy involves removing a large portion of the stomach, resulting in a smaller stomach that promotes early satiety.

Bariatric surgery can lead to significant weight loss, improve or resolve obesity-related conditions like diabetes and hypertension, and enhance overall quality of life. However, patients must commit to long-term lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, to achieve and maintain successful outcomes.
