Bariatric surgery addresses severe obesity difficult to treat through diet and exercise. Generally, bariatric surgery is reserved for people who suffer from obesity related health problems, or those who have difficulty losing weight through traditional methods and are at high risk for complications. Bariatric surgical procedures restrict food intake and promote drastic weight loss when combined with a healthy and nutritious diet plan and regular physical exercise and activity.

Four types of bariatric surgery procedures are fairly common and each comes with its own benefits. The physician will help a potential candidate consider which procedure is optimal for his or her condition and may include factors such as eating behaviors, health, body mass index, and other medical conditions affected by massive weight gain.
