What is bariatric surgery?

A bariatric surgery is a procedure that promotes weight loss by changing the digestive system’s anatomy, limiting the amount of food that can be eaten and digested. Though bariatric surgeries have become synonymous with weight loss, and people who can afford it consider it an easier alternative to healthy eating and exercising. Dr Ramen Goel, a bariatric surgeon tells us more about the procedure.

Who should opt for it?

The surgery isn’t for everyone. Dr Goel told TheHealthSite.com, ‘The procedure is advised for those patients who are at least 25-30 kg overweight with a BMI which is 32.5 or above. People with severe diabetes, hypertension or obstructive sleep apnoea associated with obesity are also likely candidates. Women who have irregular periods and are unable to conceive due to obesity can also opt for the surgery.’ The surgery is also very effective for type 2 diabetics since it increases insulin resistance and helps control blood sugar. It’s believed that around the 80% type 2 diabetics will go back to having normal blood sugar without medicinal intervention. Read: Why weight loss surgery is great for diabetics.
