What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a group of surgical procedures aimed at treating severe obesity by reducing the size of the stomach and/or altering the digestive tract. This helps limit food intake and decrease calorie absorption, resulting in significant and sustained weight loss. It is primarily recommended for individuals with:
- BMI ≥ 40
- BMI ≥ 35 with obesity-related conditions like diabetes or sleep apnea
- Failure to achieve lasting weight loss through diet and exercise
Common procedures include:
- Sleeve Gastrectomy
- Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)
- Adjustable Gastric Banding
- Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS)
These surgeries are typically performed using laparoscopic or robotic techniques, which reduce recovery time and minimize surgical risks.
