Understanding Weight‑Loss Surgery & Who’s a Candidate

Bariatric surgery, also known as weight‑loss surgery, helps individuals achieve significant, lasting weight reduction by modifying the stomach’s capacity or rerouting digestion.  It is typically recommended for people with a body mass index (BMI) over 35 or over 30 with obesity‑related conditions, after diet and exercise efforts have failed.

Common procedures:

  • Gastric sleeve (vertical sleeve gastrectomy). Removes a large portion of the stomach to reduce appetite and caloric intake.
  • Gastric bypass (Roux‑en‑Y). Creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the intestine to limit food absorption.
  • Gastric balloon. A temporary silicone balloon placed in the stomach to promote early satiety; ideal for patients not eligible for surgery.

Benefits of weight‑loss surgery include significant weight reduction, improvement or resolution of diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea, increased energy and mobility, and improved quality of life.
