Understanding Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric surgery is a weight loss surgical procedure that manipulates the digestive system to help patients eat less and feel fuller. Different types of procedures include sleeve gastrectomy, which involves removing 80% of the stomach, and gastric bypass, which reroutes the digestive tract. The surgery is not simply a solution but a means to manage the complex physiological challenges that contribute to obesity. Many people misunderstand bariatric surgery as a quick fix, but it requires a commitment to healthy eating and lifestyle changes post-operation.
