Bariatric Surgery

Obesity, which has become common due to modern lifestyle, has become one of the significant reasons for diabetes, hypertension and mortality. So people began switching on to options like weight-loss devices, which has several side effects. Now days, Bariatric surgery, also known as “weight loss surgery”, is performed on people who have obesity (BMI more than 40). The surgery is found to show significant loss of weight, recovery from comorbidities like arthritis, high Blood Pressure, high Cholesterol, diabetes, and mortality. The surgery is performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic surgery). This surgery restricts the amount of food consumed, increases energy expenditure and produces changes in gut hormones reducing appetite and enhances satiety. Bariatric surgeons may perform any of the three procedures: laparoscopic adjustable gastric band, gastric sleeve surgery or gastric bypass.
