What is Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric and metabolic surgery is the field of medicine focused on obesity and its causes, co-morbidities, prevention and treatments. Historically, bariatric surgery has been divided into two approaches:

• Restrictive – when your stomach's size and capacity are reduced
• Malabsorption – when your intestine's ability to absorb calories and nutrients is reduced

Ultimately, hormonal changes after bariatric surgery help curb cravings and promote feeling full.
