Weight loss surgery, also known as bariatric surgery, is a procedure that helps people with obesity or type 2 diabetes to lose weight. The procedure does this by reducing the size of the stomach and/or restricting how much food can be eaten at one time.
The two most common types of weight-loss surgeries are gastric bypass and gastric banding. Gastric bypass reduces the size of your stomach so that you are able to eat less food. Gastric banding makes your stomach smaller by placing an inflatable band around it.
