Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is the treatment of choice when all other interventions have failed.
Conventional therapies such as lifestyle modification (diet and exercise) and pharmacotherapy (medications) remain important but are limited by their results in terms of weight loss. Numerous studies have shown that bariatric surgery is the most effective intervention for severe obesity.
What is bariatric surgery?
Bariatric surgery is the term to describe several weight loss surgery options that affects the stomach and how food is digested. It involves surgically reducing the size of the stomach, or the surgical re-routing of the patient’s small intestines, which causes the person to feel full after eating only a small amount of food.
