Bariatric Surgery

Bariatric surgery is a set of surgical techniques and procedures that seek changes in physiology to achieve sustained and long-lasting weight loss. They are technically complex procedures that are not exempt from complications in the short or medium term, and can also present mortality.

Bariatric surgery is not cosmetic surgery, it is not risk-free, it is not easy, and it is not magical. Like other treatments for obesity, it requires changes in lifestyle and maintaining healthy diets to guarantee successful results in the medium and long term.
