What is Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery is the general name given to all surgical operations performed as an intervention against the obesity problem. All of the surgical operations under the title of bariatric surgery, also called obesity surgery and metabolic surgery, aim to make changes in your digestive system.

Types of Bariatric Surgery

There are various bariatric surgeries that can be performed according to the person’s condition and complaint. Bariatric types of surgery can be performed open or laparoscopically. Most bariatric operations performed today are laparoscopic. This is because, compared to open surgery, it requires less extensive incisions and causes relatively minimal tissue damage, resulting in fewer post-operative complications.

Who Can Have a Bariatric Surgery?

Bariatric surgery is not suitable for anyone who is overweight. To qualify for weight loss surgery, you must meet certain medical conditions. You must also be willing to make permanent changes to maintain a healthier lifestyle. Some of the conditions that a person who wants to have a bariatric surgery operation must meet are as follows.

  • If your body mass index (BMI) is 40 or higher (extreme obesity).
  • Your BMI is 35 to 39.9 (obesity) and you have a serious weight-related health problem such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or severe sleep apnea if exists.
  • In some cases, you may qualify for certain types of weight loss surgery if your BMI is between 30 and 34 and you have serious weight-related health problems.
  • If you are psychologically ready for weight loss surgery.

All About Bariatric Surgery

The Differences Between Open and Laparoscopic Surgery

Bariatric surgery can be performed with “open” approaches involving standard incision of the stomach or by laparoscopy. With the laparoscopic approach, bariatric surgeons insert complex instruments through 1/2-inch cuts and direct a small camera that sends images to a monitor. Today, most bariatric surgeries are performed laparoscopically. The reason for this is that it requires a smaller incision and creates less tissue damage, leading to earlier hospital discharge and causing less problems, especially preventing post-operative hernias.

However, not every patient is suitable for laparoscopy. Patients who are considered extremely obese, have had previous gastric surgery, or have complex medical problems may require the open approach.
