What is a Bariatric Surgery?

Gastric bypass surgery or other weight loss surgeries are commonly called bariatric surgery. This is performed when exercise or medications stop working, and the patient suffers from multiple problems due to being overweight. A minimally invasive procedure, bariatric surgery restricts food intake and leads to weight loss over time by changing the digestive system. Bariatric surgery can cause a significant improvement in various obesity-related problems like orthopedic pain, hypertension, diabetes, sleep apnea, etc. If you also want to eliminate your extra weight without any complications, get in touch with Pristyn Care in your Avadi.

Treatment and Procedure

If you qualify to proceed with bariatric surgery, your surgeon may recommend you some lab tests and instructions to prepare for the specific type of weight loss surgery that can be the best option for you.

Bariatric surgeries are of different types and work in different ways. Here are the procedures of all types of bariatric surgeries.

  1. Gastric bypass – This is one of the most common surgeries for weight loss. During this procedure, the surgeon creates a small pouch by cutting a part of your stomach and attaching it directly to the small intestine. This procedure restricts the amount of food and nutrient intake, which leads to weight loss.
  2. Sleeve gastrectomy – This treatment removes 80% of the stomach, leaving just a pouch-shaped stomach. The surgery significantly reduces the size of the stomach, ultimately resulting in weight loss.
  3. Gastric band – The surgeon places a gastric band around the stomach and creates a small pouch in your stomach. It gives the feeling of fullness in the stomach and reduces weight over time.
  4. Duodenal switch – A tube-shaped pouch is created and connected with the major part of the small intestine, similar to sleeve gastrectomy. It gives the feeling of fullness with less food and restricts the intake of nutrients. But, it may cause malnutrition and deficiency of nutrients, etc.
