Bariatric Metabolic Surgery is a category of procedures aimed at promoting weight loss and improving metabolic health in patients with obesity. These surgeries, such as gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and duodenal switch, help patients achieve sustainable weight loss by altering the digestive system.

The procedures work by reducing stomach size, bypassing portions of the intestines, or both, which results in reduced calorie intake and nutrient absorption. Bariatric metabolic surgery has been shown to improve or resolve conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

Postoperative care includes careful monitoring of nutrient intake, providing vitamin and mineral supplements, and supporting the patient in making long-term lifestyle changes. Follow-up appointments are necessary to track weight loss progress and ensure the patient’s health remains stable.

Bariatric metabolic surgery offers life-changing results for patients with severe obesity, significantly improving quality of life and overall health by promoting sustainable weight loss and addressing related comorbidities.
