Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery is a field of surgery focused on treating obesity and related health issues. It includes procedures such as gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding (Lap-Band). These surgeries reduce the size of the stomach or reroute the digestive system, leading to significant weight loss. Bariatric surgery is typically recommended for individuals with severe obesity who have not successfully lost weight through other methods. It can also help improve or resolve obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes and sleep apnea, leading to better overall health.
