Obesity and Chronic Diseases

Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery is a medical procedure designed to assist in significant weight loss for individuals with severe obesity. Common types include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding. These surgeries alter the digestive system to limit food intake or nutrient absorption, leading to substantial weight reduction. Bariatric surgery can improve or resolve obesity-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. It requires a commitment to lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise, and ongoing medical follow-up. While effective, it carries risks and potential complications, making thorough evaluation and patient education essential before proceeding. There are numerous weight-loss techniques accessible.

• Duodenal jejunal bypass with sleeve gastrectomy
• Duodenal switch.
• Revisional surgery
