Bariatric surgery (or simply 'weight loss surgery') comprises a range of surgical procedures designed to reduce severe obesity in patients. Bariatric surgical procedures include: stomach bypass, stomach stapling, stomach balloon or lap band®.

Bariatric surgery promotes weight loss by restricting food intake and, in some operations, interrupting the digestive process.

Bariatric surgery has a direct impact on obesity, although obese patients are advised that such surgery must be accompanied by weight-related lifestyle changes in the form of diet modification and increased physical exercise.

A patient's commitment to improving their eating habits, taking regular physical exercise and making other weight-related behavioral changes, is an essential element for the long term success of any weight loss surgery.
