What is Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric Surgery is a medical procedure designed to help individuals with severe obesity lose weight and improve related health conditions. It involves making changes to the digestive system to limit the amount of food the stomach can hold, alter the way the body absorbs food, or both. Bariatric surgery is often considered when lifestyle changes, diet, and exercise have not been effective for long-term weight loss.

• Have a BMI of 35 or greater with obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or joint problems.
• Have tried and failed with other weight loss methods such as diet and exercise.
• Are committed to making lifestyle changes, including adopting a healthy diet and exercising regularly.
