What is Weight Loss Surgery?
Weight Loss Surgery, also known as Bariatric Surgery, is a group of surgical procedures that help patients with severe obesity lose weight by restricting stomach size, altering digestion, or both. It is recommended for individuals with a high BMI who have not achieved lasting results through diet, exercise, or medication, and who often have obesity-related conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea. The surgery is typically performed laparoscopically, resulting in faster recovery and minimal scarring.
Who may be considered?
Weight Loss Surgery may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
A large portion of the stomach is removed, leaving a narrow tube-shaped stomach that restricts food intake and reduces hunger hormones.

Recovery and follow-up

Risks
Potential risks include bleeding, infection, leaks at surgical connections, blood clots, nutritional deficiencies, and rare complications requiring revision surgery. Anesthesia-related risks are also present as with any major surgery.
Alternatives
Non-surgical alternatives include supervised medical weight loss programs, prescription weight loss medications, and intragastric balloon placement for patients who do not qualify for or prefer to avoid permanent surgical alteration.

How we selected these doctors
A doctor appears on this page when their listed specialty maps to Bariatric Surgery and their profile names weight loss surgery (or a matching term) among the procedures they perform. Doctors are not ranked by a proprietary "best" score — the order follows years of listed experience (highest first), the same field shown on each doctor's profile. This page does not display aggregate star ratings.
