Weight Loss

Weight loss surgery also known as bariatric surgery, encompasses various surgical procedures aimed at helping individuals with severe obesity lose weight and improve their overall health. These procedures alter the digestive system to limit food intake, reduce nutrient absorption, or both. The primary goal is to achieve significant and sustained weight loss, which can help reduce the risk of obesity-related health conditions. It is typically recommended for individuals who have not achieved significant weight loss through diet, exercise, and other non-surgical methods.
