Weight Loss Surgery Information Sessions

In a weight loss surgery information session, a bariatric clinician gives a presentation explaining all of the surgeries performed, who is a candidate for surgery and the surgery process in detail.

Weight Loss Procedures

Most bariatric/weight-loss procedures today are performed using minimally invasive techniques (laparoscopic surgery). The most common bariatric surgery procedures are gastric bypass, sleeve gastrectomy, adjustable gastric band, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch.

Gastric Bypass

Gastric bypass is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting the pouch directly to the small intestine.

Sleeve Gastrectomy

Sleeve gastrectomy (gastric sleeve) is a bariatric procedure that removes up to 75-80% of the stomach.

Body Mass Index (BMI)

Body mass index (BMI) is a person's weight in kilograms divided by the square of height in meters. BMI can be used to screen for weight categories that may lead to health problems.

Bariatric Surgery Support Groups

Bariatric surgery support groups are a place where all patients can learn more about what to expect after surgery from people who have actually had the surgery.
