  2. How Does Bariatric Surgery Work? Bariatric surgery works by altering some aspect of your digestive system to reduce the number of calories your body can digest. There are two primary ways that bariatric surgeries aim to address obesity. The first is by restricting the size or available volume of the stomach so that you are unable to eat as much food as you used to. The second by reducing the body’s ability to absorb calories from digested food.

  3. Obesity Complications Can Go Into Remission Type 2 diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), and sleep apnea are all conditions related to obesity, and many obese patients find that they no longer have to deal with these issues anymore. It’s also been found that these obesity-related conditions become easier to manage after bariatric surgery regardless of the amount of weight lost.

  4. Relief of Joint Pain Joint pain is often a difficulty for obese patients, and it’s easy to see why. The knees, hips, and ankles are the most affected due to their functions. Patients who lose even a little bit of weight can feel much less pressure on their joints.

  5. Better Overall Prognosis Those who are successful in losing weight and keeping it off after bariatric surgery has a better prognosis. All-cause mortality is lower in normal-weight patients than in obese patients, and weight loss surgery can help a patient get to a healthy weight by addressing the root causes of their obesity.
