Weight loss surgeries are required when obesity-related health problems become severe and significant, and when other weight loss methods like diet and exercise have failed. One of these weight loss treatments, bariatric surgery, can only be performed under certain medical conditions, for example, for patients with a BMI of 40 or higher. Bariatric surgery is needed when obesity is severe and other methods like diet and exercise have failed, to improve a person's quality of life and reduce serious health risks associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea. It involves procedures that change the digestive system, enabling weight loss by restricting the amount of food a patient can consume and reducing calorie absorption. The most common type of bariatric surgery is gastric bypass, in which a portion of the stomach is removed to make it smaller. Such surgeries can affect the amount of gut hormones produced, reducing appetite and improving the patient’s ability to absorb insulin. Bariatric surgery has emerged as a life-changing solution for individuals struggling with obesity and related health conditions. In India, renowned bariatric surgeons and specialized centres offer a wide range of challenging and innovative procedures to help patients achieve significant weight loss and improve their overall health.

Descriptions for Bariatric Treatments
Sleeve Gastrectomy: This procedure involves removing a large portion of the stomach, leaving behind a smaller, sleeve-shaped stomach. It is an effective weight loss surgery that restricts the amount of food one can consume and helps in the long-term management of obesity.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: This procedure involves creating a small stomach pouch and bypassing a portion of the small intestine, reducing the absorption of calories and nutrients. It is an effective weight loss surgery that helps in the long-term management of obesity.
Mini Gastric Bypass: This procedure involves creating a small stomach pouch and attaching it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a portion of the small intestine. It is a simpler and quicker procedure than the traditional Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass and has comparable weight loss results.
Duodenal Switch: This procedure involves a sleeve gastrectomy and a partial duodenum-ileal bypass, which reduces the absorption of fat and calories. It is an effective weight loss surgery that helps in the long-term management of obesity and is suitable for patients with a high BMI.
Gastric Banding: This procedure involves placing an inflatable band around the upper portion of the stomach, creating a smaller stomach pouch. It is a less invasive weight loss surgery that is reversible and adjustable.
