What is bariatric surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a surgery that helps to lose weight by causing changes in the digestive system. Some bariatric surgeries reduce the stomach size, allowing the patient to eat and drink less and feel saturated faster. Other bariatric surgeries bypass the small intestine responsible for absorbing calories and nutrients from foods and drinks.
How are the bariatric surgeries performed?
Bariatric surgeries are based on the use of the laparoscope, a thin tube inserted into the abdomen through small incisions that do not exceed 2 cm. This technique reduces recovery time, shortens hospitalization, reduces scarring, and reduces post-surgical pain.
