Bariatric surgery, also known as weight loss surgery, is a medical procedure designed to help individuals with obesity lose weight when traditional methods like diet and exercise are not effective. The surgery reduces stomach size or nutrient absorption, helping patients achieve significant weight loss and improved overall health.
