Your sister mat qualify for bariatric surgery, but she can only have it with a doctor's consent. Being obese is a very vague description, and at minimum is only 30 lbs. overweight, which is not enough for bariatric surgery. She needs to speak with her doctor.

Answer 5

For people who are morbidly obese, there are a variety of weight loss surgeries that are available to them. Adjustable gastric banding, or LAP BAND, is a procedure that involves separating the stomach into two sections with an inflatable band. This procedure promotes weight loss by restricting the amount of food that a person can eat in a single meal.

During a sleeve gastrectomy, the left side of the stomach is removed, which leaves only a small portion of the stomach behind. A gastric bypass is the most common weight loss procedure performed, as the stomach is divided into two parts. The upper stomach is then attached to the lower small intestine, which allows fewer calories to be absorbed by the body.

Answer 6

Weight loss surgery is typically performed on individuals who are obese or overweight. Gastric bypass surgery is the most common weight loss surgery followed by the Lap-Band procedure and gastric banding. Weight loss surgeries may be covered by certain insurance companies but sometimes they are not. Some people also consider liposuction to be a weight loss surgery because it is performed to remove excess fat from the body therefore resulting in some weight loss.
