Otherwise known as weight loss surgery or metabolic surgery, bariatric surgery can be an invaluable tool in your weightloss journey. If you’ve tried diet and exercise but have been unsuccessful achieving long lasting results or if you have common comorbidities related to weight such as hypertension, type 2 diabetes or high cholesterol, bariatric surgery may be for you.
Common bariatric surgeries included gastric sleeve, gastric bypass, lap band removal and revisional surgery.
