Bariatric surgery<\/a> simply means weight loss surgery<\/a>. It involves removing or sectioning off part of the stomach to make it smaller, meaning that a person cannot eat more than a small portion in a given meal. This is something we call restriction.<\/p>\n Some bariatric surgical options also bypass a portion of the intestines to decrease the amount of calories absorbed. We call this malabsorption. The best and most lasting weight loss is often achieved through a combination of restriction and malabsorption.<\/p>\n Have you worked hard to lose weight? Have you tried diet after diet resulting in temporary weight loss, only to regain your weight a short time later? For many this experience is very frustrating and can leave them feeling defeated.<\/p>\n However, there is hope. Even if lifestyle modification and medical therapy have failed you, you are not a failure. The body is naturally designed to maintain its current weight, meaning that losing significant weight and keeping it off can be difficult. Weight loss surgery is a highly effective weight loss tool that can level your playing field and give you the same opportunity to lose weight as anyone else.<\/p>\n This kind of surgery is not for everyone. But if you have struggled with obesity, it can be a powerful tool to help you lose weight, keep it off, and regain your quality of life.<\/p>\n Various types of weight loss surgery are available. The best type of bariatric surgery for you will depend on your individual medical history and desired weight loss goals.<\/p>\n The Gastric Banding surgery<\/a> was once very popular, but has higher long-term risk and is less effective than modern alternatives.<\/p>\n The Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery<\/a> is a popular type of weight loss surgery if you want to lose 55-80% of your unhealthy body weight, but may not be ideal for patients with a BMI of over 50 or who suffer from Type II diabetes.<\/p>\n Mexico Bariatric Surgery<\/a> performs surgery laparoscopically through just 4 or 5 tiny incisions. This avoids much of the pain traditionally encountered with \u201copen\u201d surgeries performed through large surgical incisions.<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAre you A Candidate for Bariatric Surgery?<\/h2>\n
