Bariatric Surgery is the area of surgery that treats people who
are so overweight that they are suffering health consequences of
the excess weight. The
surgical therapy of morbid obesity usually involves operations on
the stomach such as the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, Adjustable Gastric
Banding (including the Lap-Band® procedure), Biliopancreatic
Diversion, or other procedures. Most weight loss operations
dramatically restrict one's ability to eat, thus promoting weight
loss. To learn more about Morbid
