Bariatric surgery

Bariatric surgery entails making changes to the digestive tract to promote weight loss. Weight loss surgery might be the solution if diets and physical activity have not been effective for weight loss or if you have serious health problems due to excess body weight.

Various techniques are used in the surgical treatment of obesity. Some procedures reduce stomach volume and the amount of food it can consume, while others reduce the body’s ability to absorb nutrients. In addition to reducing excess body weight, bariatric surgery can reduce the risk of developing weight-related health problems, such as:

  • Heart disease and stroke
  • Hypertension
  • Fatty liver disease, or hepatic steatosis, caused by obesity and physical inactivity
  • Sleep apnoea
  • Type 2 diabetes

A bariatric surgeon can help you find the most suitable option. A referral is not needed to consult a bariatric surgeon.
