Bariatric surgery, also known as weight-loss or metabolic surgery, involves specialised procedures aimed at helping individuals achieve significant and sustained weight loss. These surgeries make changes to the digestive system, either limiting food intake or reducing nutrient absorption. Considered one of the most successful long-term treatments for obesity, bariatric surgery greatly reduces the risk of obesity-related conditions like Type 2 diabetes, sleep apnoea, hypertension, heart disease, stroke, and fatty liver disease.
At Busamed, bariatric surgery is part of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to weight management. Our bariatric surgeons, dietitians, psychologists, and specialist nursing teams collaborate closely with patients to achieve optimal long-term weight management outcomes.
