Bariatric surgery is a medical procedure that helps severely obese individuals lose weight by making changes to the digestive system. There are several types of bariatric surgery, and it’s usually recommended for individuals with a BMI of 40 or higher, or 35 or higher with at least one obesity-related health condition. The surgery is effective in achieving weight loss and improving many health conditions but carries some risks, including complications related to anaesthesia and malnutrition. Recovery time varies depending on the type of surgery, and patients must follow a specific diet and eating plan afterwards.

Bariatric surgery is typically recommended for individuals who have severe obesity and related health conditions. Common ailments that may require bariatric surgery include:
Bariatric surgery can help improve blood sugar control and reduce the need for diabetes medication.
Bariatric surgery can lead to a significant decrease in blood pressure, reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications.
Bariatric surgery can alleviate or improve symptoms of sleep apnea, a condition characterized by interrupted breathing during sleep.
Excess weight puts strain on joints, leading to conditions such as osteoarthritis. Bariatric surgery can relieve pressure on joints and improve mobility.
Bariatric surgery can help reduce the risk factors associated with heart disease, such as high cholesterol levels and obesity-related inflammation.
Bariatric surgery can lead to improvements in liver function and a reduction in NAFLD.
Bariatric surgery is a medical procedure that is used to help people who are severely overweight or obese lose weight. It involves reducing the size of the stomach and changing the way it interacts with the digestive system.
Bariatric surgery may be recommended for individuals with a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with at least one obesity-related health condition, such as type 2 diabetes or high blood pressure. Other factors, such as a history of failed attempts at weight loss through diet and exercise, may also be considered.
There are several types of bariatric surgery, including gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric banding, and biliopancreatic diversion with a duodenal switch.
Bariatric surgery has been shown to be effective in helping individuals achieve significant and sustained weight loss as well as improve or resolve many obesity-related health conditions.
As with any major surgery, bariatric surgery carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, blood clots, and complications related to anaesthesia. There may also be long-term risks associated with the surgery, such as malnutrition and vitamin deficiencies.
Recovery from bariatric surgery varies depending on the type of surgery and the individual’s overall health. Patients typically spend a few days in the hospital after the surgery and may need several weeks to several months to recover fully.
Bariatric surgery changes the way the stomach and digestive system function, and patients will need to follow a specific diet and eating plan after the surgery. This may include smaller, more frequent meals and avoiding certain types of foods.
Weight loss typically occurs gradually over several months to a year after bariatric surgery, depending on the type of surgery and the individual’s overall health and adherence to post-surgery dietary and lifestyle changes.
