Being overweight and obese presents a lot of health risks such as high blood pressure, sleep apnea, heart conditions and diabetes. Thanks to obesity surgery, all these risks can be eliminated and patients are able to lose the extra weight that endangers their lives.

Bariatric or Obesity Surgery can be categorized as Restrictive, Malabsorptive or a Combination of both. Restrictive Surgeries reduce the size of the stomach which in turn decreases the amount of food it can consume. Examples of these types include Lap band Surgery (Adjustable gastric banding) and Gastric sleeve.

Meanwhile, the Malabsorptive procedures are used to remove or rearrange a part the digestive system to limit the amount of calories the body absorbs. But most obesity procedures performed are those which combine restrictive and malabsorptive surgeries: Gastric Bypass and Duodenal Switch.
