Bariatric Surgery encompasses a range of weight-loss surgeries designed for individuals with severe obesity, a condition that may not respond to conventional weight loss methods. These surgeries aim to help individuals lose weight and reduce the risk of obesity-related diseases like diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

The most common bariatric procedures include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding. These surgeries alter the digestive system to limit food intake, reduce nutrient absorption, or both, promoting significant weight loss.

Postoperative care includes lifestyle modifications, nutritional counseling, and long-term monitoring for potential complications like vitamin deficiencies. Patients are typically advised to follow a strict diet and exercise regimen to ensure sustained weight loss and overall health improvements.

Bariatric surgery has proven to be an effective long-term solution for weight loss, improving quality of life and reducing the risk of chronic diseases associated with obesity. The procedures offer significant health benefits when combined with lifestyle changes.
