Bariatric surgery is a form of treatment used to help overweight people lose weight. There are two types of surgery, gastric bypass and gastric balloon, which make changes to the digestive system to help you lose weight. Surgery is performed when diet and exercise have failed, or when serious health problems have occurred due to your weight. Some treatments limit how much food you can eat. Some treatments try to reduce the body's ability to absorb nutrients. Some treatments, on the other hand, do both.
Bariatric surgery can be very beneficial in weight loss, but it can also create serious risks and side effects. Anyone who is considering bariatric surgery should work with a competent, experienced surgeon and make permanent healthy changes to their diet and exercise regularly.
Bariatric surgery is a long term that refers to a number of surgery procedures that help lose weight by making changes in the digestive tract. These procedures may include tubular stomach surgery or gastric bypass. However, the common factor for all of these procedures is the fact that they are all weight loss procedures.

These same hormonal changes are also helpful for treating conditions associated with excess weight, such as high blood pressure or heart disease.

Gastric botox (gastric bypass surgery) is a treatment for weight loss which consists of injecting botulinum toxin into the stomach. This treatment is specifically for people who want to lose weight. It is not a surgery. In gastric botox, food is able to stay in the stomach longer, and this makes the patient feel full. Therefore, they consume less food. And since they consume less food, they lose weight.
Stomach botox can be applied to anyone who wants to lose weight. Gastric botox is not an obesity surgery. Of course, certain criteria are also sought in patients.
