Obesity Surgery

Obesity surgery is a form of bariatric surgery that involves reducing the size of the stomach to restrict the amount of food intake. This is done in order to reduce the amount of calories and fat intake, helping patients achieve a healthier weight. Obesity surgery can help reduce the risks of obesity-related illnesses such as diabetes, heart disease, stroke and sleep apnea, as well as improve overall quality of life. It is considered a safe and effective option for people with a BMI of over 40 or those with a BMI over 35 who are suffering from obesity-related complications.
