What Is Bariatric & Weight Loss Surgery?
Bariatric surgery includes a range of surgical procedures used for weight loss, such as Sleeve Gastrectomy (also known as Gastric Sleeve surgery), Mini Gastric Bypass, Roux-En-Y Bypass and other variations. They are all operations where a part of your stomach is removed or restricted.
After the surgery, the vastly decreased stomach capacity means that you will feel full after eating a small amount of food.
You might also feel less hungry, because your smaller stomach will produce lower levels of a hormone called ghrelin, which causes hunger.
What are the benefits?
There are many benefits of bariatric (weight loss) surgery. Managing obesity is likely to:
- improve diabetes management
- lower blood pressure
- improve your quality of life
- improve your heart health
