Bariatric surgeons :

Bariatric surgeons treat obesity by performing surgeries for weight loss. Bariatric surgeons use various types of surgical technique to assist in the weight loss journey of obese individuals who present with diminished cardiovascular and overall health. Bariatric surgeons mainly perform a procedure called Gastric bypass where a portion of stomach is cut off from the rest of the organ and is directly connected to the small intestine. This reduces hunger pangs and also effectively reduces the capacity of calorie absorption back into the body. Bariatric surgeons also perform sleeve gastrectomy in people which severe obesity where only a small tube of stomach is left attached to the digestive system. Bariatric surgeons provide a thorough assessment prior to proceeding with such invasive surgeries by diet counselling often in collaboration with dietitians. They do a post surgical follow up to ensure that the patient has an easy transition to new diet that must be followed after procedure.

What are the procedures carried out by a bariatric surgeon?

  • A bariatric surgeon performs various procedures to treat obesity and its related health issues.
  • Common interventions include gastric bypass, where the stomach is divided and rerouted to reduce food intake and nutrient absorption. 
  • Another procedure is the gastric sleeve, which removes a portion of the stomach to create a smaller "sleeve" for decreased food capacity.
  • Gastric banding is an adjustable band around the stomach to control food consumption.
  • Bariatric surgeons may also conduct biliopancreatic diversion, a surgery combining stomach reduction and small intestine rerouting to limit food absorption and calorie intake.
  • These procedures often result in significant weight loss and can alleviate obesity-related conditions. Before surgery, patients undergo thorough evaluations to ensure the appropriateness and safety of the chosen intervention. Post-surgery, ongoing monitoring, and support are essential for successful long-term outcomes.
