Procedure Detail
What is Bariatric Surgery?
Bariatric surgery is a category of surgical procedures designed to help individuals with obesity achieve sustainable, long-term weight loss. These procedures work by altering the digestive system — either by reducing the stomach's capacity, modifying how nutrients are absorbed, or both. The result is reduced food intake, earlier satiety, and favorable changes in metabolism and hunger hormones.
Beyond weight loss, bariatric surgery is proven to improve or resolve many obesity-related conditions, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, high cholesterol, and joint pain. Many patients also experience dramatic improvements in mobility, energy, mood, and overall quality of life.
The most common procedures we perform at Vive Plastic Surgery include gastric sleeve (sleeve gastrectomy), gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y), and revision surgeries for patients who have previously had bariatric procedures. Each option is tailored to the patient's health profile, weight loss goals, and lifestyle.
