Bariatric Surgery: A Path to Weight Loss and Improved Health

Obesity presents a significant health challenge, often resistant to traditional diet and exercise approaches. For individuals grappling with moderate to severe obesity, Bariatric Surgery offers a powerful intervention. Numerous studies have shown that Fat Loss Surgery, also known as Bariatric Surgery, is a highly effective procedure for achieving significant weight loss and improved health outcomes.

This life-changing technique dramatically enhances the quality of life for eligible candidates. Individuals with obesity are at increased risk for serious conditions such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, arthritis, breathing problems like sleep apnea, and infertility. Types of weight loss surgery, including gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy, can significantly improve these conditions. These procedures not only guarantee weight loss but also effectively lower blood pressure and cholesterol. They alleviate breathing difficulties, halt disease progression, and minimize the risk of developing new serious health problems.

How Bariatric Surgery Works

Bariatric Surgery works by either limiting the amount of food the stomach can hold or by altering the way the digestive system absorbs nutrients, or both. For example, a gastric sleeve or sleeve gastrectomy reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold, helping patients feel fuller sooner and consume fewer calories. A gastric bypass alters the stomach and small intestine to change how your body absorbs food. This leads to substantial weight loss and improved health.

Eligibility Criteria for Bariatric Surgery

  • Age between 18 and 65 years, with exceptions made on a case-by-case basis for younger or older patients.
  • A history of unsuccessful medically supervised weight-loss programs.
  • A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 30-39.9 with one or more obesity-related chronic conditions.
