Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is a surgical procedure used for weight loss. It restricts the amount of food a person can eat by decreasing the size of the stomach. Depending on the type of procedure, it may also help reduce absorption of food and calories. Bariatric surgery is an effective intervention for obese individuals, who have been unable to lose weight through traditional means, such as diet and exercise. It has been linked to long-term reductions in obesity-related conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and heart disease. Bariatric surgery may also help improve quality of life and reduce mortality, as well as overall health care costs.
