Bariatric surgery makes changes to the digestive system to help with weight loss. It is done when diet and exercise have not worked or when you have serious health problems due to your weight.

 

Significantly reduces the risk of life-threatening weight-related health problems, such as:

​

• Heart disease and stroke

• High blood pressure

• Fatty liver disease

• Sleep apnea

• Type 2 diabetes

​

The procedures are performed laparoscopically or robotically assisted, it is a minimally invasive alternative to conventional open surgery, in which a small camera called a laparoscope is used to see inside the abdomen. It is done through small holes in the abdominal cavity.
