Bariatric Surgery

Obesity is a chronic medical condition that can significantly increase the risk of metabolic, cardiovascular, and systemic complications. 

Decisions about bariatric surgery are not straightforward. They require careful medical evaluation, assessment of risks and benefits, and consideration of long-term implications. Bariatric surgery is not a default solution and is not appropriate for every patient with excess weight.

Who Bariatric Surgery May Be Considered For

Bariatric surgery is generally considered for adults with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35-39.9 with serious weight-related health conditions (e.g., type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, severe sleep apnea). Candidates must have failed to lose weight through conventional methods (diet/exercise) and commit to lifelong lifestyle changes.

What Bariatric Surgery Is

Bariatric surgery, or weight-loss surgery, comprises procedures like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy that modify the stomach and digestive tract to treat severe obesity. By restricting food intake, reducing nutrient absorption, or altering hormones, it helps patients lose significant weight and manage conditions like diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure.
