Bariatric Surgery

Obesity is not just an aesthetic concern—it’s a serious medical condition that affects the entire body. It increases the risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, hypertension, joint problems, and many other complications. When traditional methods such as diets, exercise, and medications fail to deliver results, bariatric surgery becomes an effective solution for restoring health and improving quality of life.

What Is bariatric surgery?

Bariatric surgery is a set of surgical procedures designed to treat obesity by reducing weight and improving metabolic processes. These procedures not only help limit food intake but also alter hormonal balance, affecting hunger levels, metabolism, and blood sugar regulation.

There are several types of bariatric surgeries, each tailored to the patient's health condition, body mass index (BMI), and associated medical conditions:

Sleeve gastrectomy – removal of a portion of the stomach, leading to reduced appetite and quicker satiety.
Gastric bypass – rerouting the digestive tract to reduce calorie absorption.
Biliopancreatic diversion – a combined approach that is highly effective for severe obesity cases.
Gastric banding – placing an adjustable ring around the stomach to limit its capacity (used less frequently due to more advanced methods).

Who Is eligible for bariatric surgery?

Bariatric surgery is recommended for patients with:

BMI ≥ 40 (morbid obesity) when traditional methods have failed.
BMI ≥ 35 with serious obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, or joint diseases.
BMI 30–34.9 if obesity is accompanied by severe metabolic disorders and significantly impacts quality of life.

What are the benefits of bariatric surgery?

Significant weight loss – Patients typically lose 50% to 70% of their excess weight within the first two years.
Improved health – Over 80% of patients experience remission of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and other obesity-related conditions.
Increased mobility – Less strain on joints and the spine improves movement and overall well-being.
Enhanced mental well-being – Many patients report greater self-confidence, reduced anxiety, and decreased depression symptoms.

Modern advances in bariatric surgery

Bariatric surgery today is not just about reducing stomach size—it is a sophisticated, high-tech process tailored to each patient’s needs:

Laparoscopic & robotic techniques – Minimal incisions, faster recovery, and lower risk of complications.
3D visualization – Precise surgical planning for predictable results.
Hormonal regulation – Modern procedures help normalize ghrelin (hunger hormone) levels, supporting long-term weight management.
