Bariatric Surgery

BARIATRIC SURGERY
By altering the digestive tract, bariatric surgery refers to surgical techniques that help patients lose weight. Gastric bypass and other weight loss surgeries, as well as other procedures, can all be referred to as "bariatric surgery." The effects of bariatric surgery vary depending on how much food the stomach can contain, how well the body can absorb nutrients or a combination of the two. The most popular bariatric procedures include a duodenal switch, adjustable gastric band, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric bypass. Not everyone who is overweight should undergo bariatric surgery. Medical requirements must be met. It is often recommended when other weight-loss strategies, such as modifying your diet and exercising more, don't work.
