What is Bariatric and Metabolic Surgery?
Bariatric and metabolic surgery refers to a range of procedures that alter the digestive system to promote significant weight loss and help manage conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea. By either reducing the stomach’s size or changing how nutrients are absorbed, these surgeries can transform lives, making it easier to achieve long-term health and wellnes
Types of Bariatric Surgery:
Gastric Bypass
This surgery shrinks the stomach and reroutes part of the digestive system, reducing how much food you can eat and how many nutrients your body absorbs. Helps patients lose weight quickly and can lead to significant improvements in metabolic conditions.
Sleeve Gastrectomy
In this procedure, a portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. This helps you feel full sooner and eat less, making it an effective tool for sustained weight loss.
Endoscopic Bariatric Procedures
A minimally invasive option performed through the mouth, without any cuts or incisions. Ideal for those looking for a quicker recovery with less discomfort, while still achieving effective results.
The Life-Changing Benefits of Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric and metabolic surgery is not just about losing weight—it’s about reclaiming your health, improving quality of life, and taking control of your future.
