Weight Loss Surgery

Weight loss surgery, or bariatric surgery, involves medical procedures that help individuals lose weight by altering the digestive system. These procedures reduce stomach size or reroute the intestines, limiting food intake and absorption. Common types include gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy. The goal is to promote significant weight loss, which can improve health conditions like diabetes and hypertension. It’s usually recommended for people with severe obesity when other methods haven’t worked. The surgery requires lifelong lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, to maintain results and ensure long-term health benefits.
