Obesity and Bariatric Surgery

In addition to a lack of physical activity or a regular schedule, obesity is brought on by an imbalance between calorie intake and utilisation. The purpose of this procedure is to decrease stomach capacity, which restricts the amount of food the stomach can hold at any given time and promotes early satiety. It helps to stop food from being digested, which lowers the amount of calories that are released into the body. People who are obese and desire to lose weight often undergo bariatric surgery, sometimes referred to as metabolic surgery.
