What is weight loss surgery (bariatric surgery)?
Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is a medical procedure performed on individuals who are severely overweight or obese and have not been successful in losing weight through other methods such as diet, exercise, and medication. The primary goal of bariatric surgery is to reduce the size of the stomach or modify the digestive system in a way that promotes weight loss.
