Obesity and Bariatric Surger

There are several different operations that are carried out on obese people as part of bariatric surgery. Modifying gut hormone levels that control hunger and fullness to create a new hormonal weight set point is a major component of long-term weight loss achieved with standard of care methods. The most frequent adverse consequences of weight loss surgery are infection, nutritional deficits, gallstones, and persistent nausea and vomiting. Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, and sleep apnea are just a few of the health issues that obesity-related obesity can alleviate with bariatric surgery.
