About
Bariatric Surgery
Bariatric
surgery may be an option if you are significantly obese and
have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight on diet and exercise
programs.Bariatric surgery reduces your body's intake of
calories.
Bariatric
surgery is not a quick fix for obesity. Bariatric surgery can
take several hours and has risks and possible complications.
For example, vomiting following bariatric surgery is not
uncommon because of eating more than the new, small stomach can
accommodate.
