Surgery to treat obesity
What is bariatric surgery
Surgical procedures performed for weight loss and control of associated metabolic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, high blood pressure, hypercholesterolemia, high triglycerides, polycystic ovary syndrome, among others.
It consists of modifying the anatomy of the digestive system to limit the amount of food that can be consumed or the amount of nutrients that are absorbed into the body.
Bariatric surgery requires significant lifestyle changes to maintain successful long-term weight loss. The purpose is to form permanent habits that improve your hope and quality of life.
