Bariatric surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is a general term for surgical procedures performed to promote weight loss and treat weight-related health problems in overweight or obese individuals.
Bariatric surgery procedures are considered when other weight loss methods such as diet, exercise, and lifestyle changes have not worked or have not yielded satisfactory results for patients.
The goal of bariatric surgery is to help patients lose weight and maintain it long-term. It is also designed to prevent obesity-related health problems and improve patients’ quality of life.
Typically, bariatric surgery involves changing or restricting part of the digestive system so that less food is taken in and/or absorbed. This helps with weight loss and maintenance.
Bariatric Surgery Treatments
Bariatric Surgery TreatmentsGastric Reduction Surgery – Gastric Bypass
A procedure to reduce the size of the stomach and bypass a section of the intestine. This way, less food is taken in and the absorption of nutrients is partially blocked.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
A procedure that involves removing a large portion of the stomach and reducing it to a smaller tube shape. This helps you eat less food and feel fuller.
Adjustable Gastric Banding
A method of restricting the stomach by dividing the upper part of the stomach and using a band that creates a small reservoir. This band helps control the speed of eating and portion size.
Duodenal Switch – Biliopancreatic Diversion
Involves reducing the size of the stomach while bypassing part of the intestine, thus reducing nutrient absorption.
Bariatric surgery can be an important option for individuals who are severely obese and have obesity-related health problems. However, since such surgical procedures carry serious risks, it is important that candidates are carefully evaluated and guided by a qualified healthcare team. In addition, regular follow-up and adherence to lifestyle changes are required after the surgical procedure.
