What Is Obesity Surgery? Who Is It Suitable For?<\/b><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Obesity surgery (bariatric surgery) refers to surgical procedures performed to help individuals with severe obesity lose weight and reduce obesity-related health conditions. These procedures either restrict the stomach’s capacity or alter the digestive tract to limit calorie absorption.<\/span><\/p>

Common Types of Bariatric Surgery:<\/b><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

  • Sleeve gastrectomy:<\/b> Removal of a large portion of the stomach to create a tube-like shape<\/span><\/li>
  • Gastric bypass:<\/b> Combines restriction of stomach size and reduced nutrient absorption<\/span><\/li>
  • Intragastric balloon:<\/b> A temporary balloon inserted endoscopically to limit stomach volume<\/span><\/li>
  • Mini gastric bypass and duodenal switch:<\/b> Less common but effective in select cases<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

    Who Is Eligible?<\/b><\/h3>


    <\/b>Obesity surgery is recommended for individuals who meet the following criteria:<\/span><\/p>

    • Body Mass Index (BMI) \u2265 40<\/b><\/li>
    • BMI \u2265 35<\/b> with associated comorbidities (such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea)<\/span><\/li>
    • Failure to achieve adequate weight loss with diet, exercise, or medications<\/span><\/li>
    • Medically and psychologically fit for surgery<\/span><\/li><\/ul>

      Postoperative<\/b> Management<\/b><\/h3>


      <\/b>A multidisciplinary follow-up is essential. Patients must adapt to a new lifestyle with nutritional counseling, psychological support, and regular monitoring by their surgical team.<\/span><\/p>
