What Is Obesity Surgery?

Obesity (bariatric) surgery includes surgical procedures that help patients lose weight by:

  • Reducing stomach size

  • Limiting food intake

  • Changing the way the body absorbs nutrients

  • Modifying appetite and metabolism hormones

These surgeries not only help with weight loss but also reverse chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
