Bariatric Surgery

About

When non-surgical approaches such as diet, exercise, and medication fail to help obese people lose weight, bariatric surgery may be recommended. Bariatric surgery can limit the amount of food a stomach can keep, reduce the body’s ability to absorb nutrients, or a combination of the two. The most common types of bariatric surgery include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric band, and duodenal switch. If your BMI is greater than 50 or greater than 40 and you have major health concerns, you may be a candidate for biliary pancreatic diversion with a duodenal switch operation.
