What is bariatric surgery?

Bariatric operation helps to change body’s digestion processes, contributing to weight loss.
Bariatric surgery is a modern, safe, and effective treatment method for obesity and metabolic disorders. After bariatric surgery, patient takes in and digests less food, thus surplus does not accumulate in body, allowing to lose up to 80% of excess weight within the first year after surgery. Bariatric surgery can improve the quality of life! One of the types of bariatric surgeries is the gastric balloon placement procedure.
