Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery generally refers to procedures that are aimed at helping you lose weight, which range from gastric bypass (most invasive) to gastric balloon (least invasive). Bariatric surgery makes changes to the digestive system to reduce food intake or nutrient absorption which ultimately helps you feel full more quickly with fewer calories. Bariatric surgery is a helpful option for obese people who are at risk of developing health-related complications. Although the surgery leads to significant and long-term weight loss, maintaining the results for long largely depends on your lifestyle after the surgery.
