Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is a weight-loss procedure that alters the digestive system to help people eat less and lose weight. It works by either reducing the size of the stomach or rerouting part of the intestines so the body absorbs fewer calories.
Common types of Bariatric surgery include gastric bypass, gastric sleeve, and adjustable gastric banding. These surgeries make you feel full faster and help with long-term weight loss, but they also require significant lifestyle changes, like following a healthy diet and exercising regularly, to maintain the results.
