If obesity is hampering your day to day activities and performing simple tasks require lot of efforts.

Understanding bariatric surgery

Some weight loss surgeries work by decreasing the size of stomach (restrictive) so that it reduces the quantity of food that can be eaten at one time.

Some weight loss procedures alter digestion by causing food to be poorly digested and incompletely absorbed (malabsorptive). It does by reducing the length of intestine the food travels.

Most of the best weight loss procedures offer a combination of both restriction and malabsorption.

In addition, bariatric surgeries produce hormonal changes which reduces our appetite, craving for sweet foods and increases the secretion of insulin causing resolution or marked improvement in diabetes.
