Bariatric surgery

Gastric bypass surgery and other weight-loss operations – collectively known as Bariatric surgery, involve making changes to one’s digestive system to help lose weight.
Bariatric surgery (weight-reduction surgery) is done when diet and exercises haven’t worked or when one has serious health problems because of weight.
Some procedures limit how much one can eat. Other procedures work by reducing the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. Some procedures do both.
Post-Bariatric surgery, one must also make permanent healthy changes to the diet and get regular exercises to help ensure the long-term success of bariatric surgery.
