Frequent questions

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is a medical procedure performed on individuals who are severely obese and have been unable to lose weight through traditional methods like diet and exercise. The primary goal of bariatric surgery is to help these individuals lose weight and improve their overall health.

Bariatric surgery works through various mechanisms, depending on the specific type of surgery performed. However, the primary goal of all bariatric procedures is to help individuals with severe obesity lose weight and improve their overall health.

  1. Gastric Bypass Surgery:

    • Restriction: A small pouch is created at the top of the stomach, limiting the amount of food a person can eat at one time.
    • Malabsorption: The small intestine is rearranged so that it connects directly to the small stomach pouch, bypassing the larger portion of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine. This reduces the absorption of calories and nutrients from food.
  2. Sleeve Gastrectomy:

    • Restriction: A large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving behind a smaller, banana-shaped stomach. This reduces the stomach’s capacity, leading to a sense of fullness and decreased food intake.
  3. Adjustable Gastric Banding (Lap-Band):

    • Restriction: A band is placed around the upper part of the stomach, creating a small pouch. This restricts the amount of food that can be consumed at one time. The band can be adjusted to control the degree of restriction.
  4. Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS):

    • Restriction: The stomach is reduced in size to create a smaller stomach pouch.
    • Malabsorption: The small intestine is rerouted to limit the absorption of calories and nutrients from food.
  5. Gastric Balloon:

    • Restriction: A deflated balloon is placed in the stomach and then inflated. This reduces the available space in the stomach, leading to a sense of fullness and reduced food intake. The balloon is typically removed after several months.

Bariatric surgery can be safe and effective for individuals who are severely obese and have not been able to lose weight through other means. However, like any surgical procedure, it comes with risks and potential complications. The safety of bariatric surgery depends on several factors, including the type of surgery,
