involves surgical procedures to help with significant weight loss

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery or obesity surgery, involves various procedures performed on the stomach or intestines to help individuals with severe obesity lose weight. Common types include gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, and adjustable gastric banding, which work by restricting food intake, reducing nutrient absorption, or a combination of both. This surgery is often considered when other weight loss methods have failed and is typically accompanied by lifestyle changes and medical supervision.
