Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is a medical procedure performed on individuals who are severely overweight or obese. The main goal of bariatric surgery is to help patients lose weight by reducing the size of the stomach or bypassing a part of the digestive system. This results in reduced food intake and/or decreased absorption of nutrients, leading to weight loss. Bariatric surgeries are typically recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. The procedures can include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, gastric banding, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch.
