Overview
Bariatric surgery is a type of weight loss surgery that reduces the size of the stomach and helps to decrease the amount of food that a person can eat. This procedure is often used in patients who are at least 100 pounds overweight and have not been able to lose weight with diet and exercise. Bariatric surgery can lead to a decrease in body weight, an increase in health, and an improvement in overall quality of life. Additionally, bariatric surgery can reduce the risk of severe medical complications associated with obesity, such as heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
