Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgeons specialize in surgical interventions for the treatment of obesity and related metabolic disorders. These procedures are aimed at significant and sustained weight loss in individuals with severe obesity, particularly when conventional methods such as diet and exercise have failed.

Their responsibilities include comprehensive preoperative assessment and counselling, selecting the appropriate surgical approach—such as sleeve gastrectomy, gastric bypass, or adjustable gastric banding—and performing the procedure with precision and safety. They also play a key role in postoperative care, monitoring nutritional status, managing potential complications, and supporting long-term lifestyle modifications to ensure sustained outcomes.

In addition to weight reduction, bariatric surgery contributes to the improvement or resolution of obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and joint disorders, thereby enhancing overall quality of life.
