Weight-loss surgery is also known as bariatric surgery. It includes a variety of procedures performed on people who are obese by reducing intake or absorption of calories. If you’re very overweight and can’t lose pounds with a healthy diet and exercise, this bariatric surgery might be an option for you. Usually, the surgery is for at least 100-pound overweight men and 80-pound overweight for women.
The first treatment to consider for anyone who is obese is losing weight. This can be achieved through a healthy, calorie-controlled diet and increased exercise. Before you consider this bariatric surgery or the weight loss surgery, it is always recommended that you try to lose weight as surgery carries a risk of complications and requires a significant change in lifestyle after that. Most surgeons only consider a person for surgery if there was a clinical need and not just for a cosmetic reason because it may take associated risks.

Two of the most widely used types of weight loss surgery are the gastric band and the gastric bypass. Gastric band is used to reduce the size of the stomach so a smaller amount of food is required to make you feel full while the gastric bypass is where the digestive system is re-routed past most of your stomach so you digest less food and it takes much less food in order to make you feel full.
