I do not believe bariatric surgeons specialize in diets. They specialize in weight loss related surgeries such as gastric bypass and lap band surgery.
Bariatric Surgery is done by a surgeon who is a specialist in the field of Baritarics. Most bariatric surgeons start out as general surgeons and then specialize in the field. Within the field, surgeons often specialize even further to a particular surgery (such as the gastric bypass) or a couple of surgeries (such as the bypass and the adjustable gastric band).

Bariatric means "weight loss." There are surgeons, all board certified, who specialize in this type of surgery, which is a very serious matter. There is nothing "quackery" about it unless you choose to pursue the procedure in Mexico or Haiti, for example. MDs and DOs are bound by the ethical, moral and professional requirements of the medical profession. They are surgeons. There are no special rules for those who specialize in bariatrics.

A bariatric diet is a diet, usually coupled with bariatric surgery. Bariatric diets are very healthly and in very small portions. This is because bariatric surgery staples off part of the stomach to make it smaller, therefore requiring smaller meals.
