What is bariatric surgery, and who should consider it for weight loss? - #14700
I recently heard about bariatric surgery, and I was surprised to learn that it’s not just about losing weight but also about improving health conditions like diabetes. I don’t fully understand how it works or who qualifies for it. What exactly is bariatric surgery, and how does it help with weight loss? I read that there are different types, like gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy—how do they differ, and which one is better? Also, does bariatric surgery permanently change digestion, or can the stomach stretch back over time? I also want to know if bariatric surgery is safe. What are the risks and complications, and how difficult is the recovery process? Also, are there natural alternatives for weight loss that can provide similar long-term results without surgery? If anyone has had bariatric surgery, what was your experience? Did it help with weight loss and health issues, and was it difficult to adjust to the new lifestyle after surgery?
