Consider bariatrics surgery if your past weight loss efforts have proven unsuccessful. You may be a good candidate for surgery if you have exhausted other weight loss methods and your weight is endangering your health. There are two basic types of bariatrics surgery. In gastric banding, your surgeon places a removable band across the top portion of your stomach, creating a smaller stomach that empties into a larger one. Gastric bypass surgery is irreversible and involves a reconfiguration of your digestive system. Each method has pros and cons. Consult with a bariatric to learn more and discuss your options.
