FAQ: answers to common questions related to weight loss surgery.
What is Weight Loss Surgery?
Bariatric or weight loss surgery is a term that covers all the different surgical procedures used to help obese patients lose weight.
People who have a BMI>30 are considered obese and may be suitable for weight loss surgery. Obesity is associated with an increased risk of developing illnesses such as: heart attack, hypertension, stroke, diabetes, sleep disorders and joint pain. Bariatric surgery can greatly improve these illnesses as well as give the patient an improved quality of life.
A number of different procedures can be performed to treat obesity. Procedures fall into three main types:
- Malabsorptive - these procedures involve bypassing a section of the small intestine thus reducing the amount of food absorbed into the body.
- Restrictive - these procedures involve reducing the size of the stomach which limits the amount of food that can be eaten e.g. gastric sleeve
- Malabsorptive/Restrictive Combination - these procedures combine both techniques e.g. gastric bypass surgery in which a small stomach pouch is formed and its outlet connected to part of the small intestine.
