Obesity surgery helps achieve significant, long term weight loss when other methods are not enough. It also aims to improve or resolve obesity related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and sleep apnea.
Obesity surgery is considered for patients with severe overweight who have not achieved durable results with diet, exercise and medication. It is usually recommended when body mass index and obesity related diseases reach a level where the health risks of staying as you are are higher than the risks of surgery.
Depending on your health status and treatment goals, your surgeon may suggest bariatric surgery, metabolic surgery or a combination of both principles in one procedure.
Bariatric surgery
Bariatric surgery reduces stomach capacity and sometimes food absorption to support major, long term weight loss and lower obesity related health risks.
