Weight Loss Surgeries

Weight loss surgeries, known collectively as bariatric surgery, involve making changes to your digestive system to help you lose weight. Bariatric surgery is done when diet and exercise don’t work, or when you have serious health problems because of your weight. Some procedures limit how much you can eat. Other procedures work by reducing the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. Some procedures do both.

While bariatric surgery can provide many benefits, all weight loss surgeries are procedures with low risks and side effects. You should also make permanent healthy changes in your diet and exercise regularly to ensure the long-term success of bariatric surgery.
