Bariatric Surgery

Overview of Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight-loss surgery, is a group of surgical procedures designed to help individuals with obesity lose weight by modifying the digestive system, often by reducing stomach size or bypassing parts of the digestive tract

Bariatric surgery is done when diet and exercise haven’t worked or when you have serious health problems because of your weight. Some weight-loss procedures limit how much you can eat. Others work by reducing the body’s ability to absorb fat and calories. Some procedures do both.

While bariatric surgery can offer many benefits, all forms of weight-loss surgery are major procedures that can pose risks and side effects. Also, you must make permanent healthy changes to your diet and get regular exercise to help ensure the long-term success of bariatric surgery.

Types of Bariatric Surgery

Gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y)

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, also known as gastric bypass, is a weight-loss surgery that involves creating a small stomach pouch and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a significant portion of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine.

Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS)

Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD/DS), also known as the duodenal switch, is a complex bariatric surgery that combines stomach restriction (sleeve gastrectomy) with malabsorption (rerouting food away from the upper part of the small intestine) to promote significant weight loss
