Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery is a specialised procedure aimed at helping individuals with obesity achieve long-term weight loss and improve their health. It involves surgical changes to the digestive system, such as reducing stomach size or rerouting the digestive tract, to limit food intake and nutrient absorption. Common types include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and gastric banding, each tailored to specific health needs and goals. Bariatric surgery is often recommended for patients with serious obesity-related health risks, like diabetes and hypertension. With lifestyle adjustments and ongoing support, it can significantly enhance quality of life and reduce health complications associated with obesity.
