Bariatric surgery, also known as metabolic and weight-loss surgery, is a proven and effective treatment for morbid obesity and obesity-related health conditions. These procedures not only limit the amount of food your stomach can hold but also reduce the calories your body absorbs by surgically decreasing the stomach’s capacity. This makes bariatric surgery a powerful tool for achieving sustainable weight loss and improving overall health.
Candidates typically include individuals with:
Bariatric surgery has been shown to improve or resolve more than 30 obesity-related conditions, including hypertension, high cholesterol, and obstructive sleep apnea.
Gastric Band Surgery
An adjustable gastric band, also known as a lap band, is placed around the upper stomach to create a small pouch, limiting food intake. This minimally invasive procedure is reversible and adjustable.
Gastric Bypass Surgery
The most common type is the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB). This procedure combines restriction and malabsorption by creating a small stomach pouch and bypassing a portion of the small intestine. It significantly reduces calorie absorption and supports long-term weight loss.
Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Also known as a sleeve gastrectomy, this procedure removes two-thirds of the stomach, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This surgery reduces hunger by removing the portion of the stomach that produces the hunger-stimulating hormone.
Gastric Balloon
Ideal for individuals with a BMI of 27–35 who do not qualify for traditional bariatric surgery. A soft, expandable balloon is temporarily inserted into the stomach to promote a feeling of fullness and support weight loss.
Conversion Surgery
Patients who do not achieve their desired weight-loss goals or experience complications from an earlier surgery may benefit from revision or conversion surgery.
