According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, there are two basic approaches to weight loss surgery for obesity. Both approaches can be combined in weight loss surgery, such as gastric bypass.
Food intake is reduced using limiting techniques.
Absorption methods can affect digestion, allowing food to be badly digested and absorbed, resulting in it being evacuated in the stool.
For people to lose weight without surgery with the help of our bariatric doctors, we do have a non-surgical medical weight loss program.
