What is Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery, commonly known as weight-loss surgery, involves altering the digestive system to help individuals lose weight effectively. It is recommended for people who have not achieved sustainable weight loss through diet, exercise, or medication and have a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or more with obesity-related conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea.

This surgical intervention not only promotes weight loss but also addresses various obesity-related health issues, improving overall quality of life.

Procedure Details: Bariatric surgery

Bariatric surgery is a medical procedure aimed at helping individuals with severe obesity lose weight by altering the digestive system. It involves various techniques that help reduce the amount of food the stomach can hold or how the body absorbs nutrients, thereby promoting weight loss and improving overall health. There are different types of bariatric surgeries, each tailored to meet the specific needs of the patient.

Bariatric surgery
  • Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass): This procedure creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach and connects it to a part of the small intestine, bypassing a portion of the stomach and intestines. This limits food intake and nutrient absorption.
  • Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve): In this surgery, a large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a tube-like structure or "sleeve." This restricts the amount of food the stomach can hold and reduces hunger by limiting the production of hunger hormones.
  • Adjustable Gastric Banding (Lap-Band): A band is placed around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch. This slows down food consumption and creates a feeling of fullness with smaller amounts of food.
  • Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD/DS): A more complex procedure that combines sleeve gastrectomy with intestinal bypass. It reduces the stomach size and alters the digestive process to reduce nutrient absorption.

What to Expect During the Procedure

  • Pre-Surgery Preparation: Comprehensive health evaluations and dietary guidelines.
  • Surgery Day: Performed under general anesthesia, typically using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques.
  • Post-Surgery Care: Includes monitored recovery, a tailored diet plan, and lifestyle counseling to ensure long-term success.
