Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is a medical procedure designed to help individuals achieve significant and sustained weight loss when other weight loss methods have been unsuccessful. It involves surgical alterations to the digestive system to restrict food intake and promote a feeling of fullness, leading to reduced calorie consumption and, ultimately, weight loss. Bariatric surgery is considered a safe and effective treatment option for individuals struggling with severe obesity, offering numerous health benefits and improving overall quality of life.

Candidate Criteria

Bariatric surgery is typically recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher (severe obesity) or a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions.
Candidates must undergo a comprehensive evaluation to assess their physical and psychological readiness for surgery, as well as their ability to commit to lifestyle changes post-surgery.

Types of Bariatric Surgery

Gastric Sleeve Surgery: In this procedure, a portion of the stomach is surgically removed, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This restricts the amount of food that can be consumed, leading to weight loss.
Gastric Bypass Surgery: This procedure involves creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach and rerouting the digestive tract to bypass a portion of the small intestine. This reduces the absorption of calories and nutrients, resulting in weight loss.
Adjustable Gastric Banding: In this procedure, a band is placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating a smaller stomach pouch. The band can be adjusted to control the amount of food that can enter the stomach.
