Bariatric surgery, also called weight loss surgery, involves surgical alterations to the digestive system to help people lose weight. These procedures, which include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding, work by reducing the stomach's size or changing the path of food through the small intestine. It's usually an option for individuals with significant health risks due to obesity when diet and exercise haven't worked. Bariatric surgery can lead to considerable and sustained weight loss, often improving or resolving related health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
