Bariatric Surgery Procedures
Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, are medical procedures performed to help individuals with severe obesity achieve significant and sustained weight loss.
Sleeve gastrectomy is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that involves reducing the size of the stomach by about 80% to promote significant weight loss.
Gastric bypass surgery involves creating a smaller stomach pouch and rerouting the digestive tract to limit food intake and nutrient absorption.
