## What is Bariatric Surgery?

 
 **Bariatric surgery** refers to various weight-loss procedures that help reduce the size of the stomach or alter digestion to **limit calorie intake and absorption**. It is typically recommended for individuals with **a BMI of 35 or more**, especially if they have related health conditions like **type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea**.

 
 

## Types of Bariatric Surgery We Offer

 
 
- **Gastric Sleeve (Sleeve Gastrectomy):** Removes about 80% of the stomach, leaving a smaller “sleeve” to restrict food intake.
- **Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y):** Reduces stomach size and reroutes part of the small intestine, reducing calorie absorption.
- **Gastric Balloon:** A temporary, non-surgical option where a balloon is inserted into the stomach to make you feel full sooner.
- **Mini Gastric Bypass:** A simpler, faster alternative to traditional bypass with similar results.
- **Revisional Bariatric Surgery:** For those who need correction or improvement after previous procedures.
