Bariatric surgery is a weight loss<\/a><\/strong> procedure for people who are morbidly obese and have related health issues. It helps a person eat less by making them feel full sooner, after eating a small amount of food. This is surgery aims to promote weight loss in patients who have not achieved long-term success with other weight loss attempts. Bariatric surgery can work in many ways, including reducing the stomach\u2019s storage capacity, which limits the food intake and a person feels full much sooner than before. This restriction on the amount of food intake causes a radical weight loss that is seen for a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are different types of bariatric surgeries, including gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding and gastric plication. After understanding the case and the expectations of the patient, the doctor provides a detailed treatment plan and help determine which type of surgery is the best for a candidate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
