Weight Loss Solutions

Weight loss surgery, also called bariatric surgery, is used to treat people who are dangerously obese. It is well established that obesity is a major risk factor for many diseases with significant morbidity and mortality. Bariatric surgical procedures cause weight loss by either restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold, causing malabsorption of food, or by a combination of both. Bariatric procedures also often cause hormonal changes. Most weight loss surgeries today are performed using the laparoscope, with small incisions and a camera.
