What Is Bariatric Surgery?
02:17
Many people don’t know what their options are for losing weight. Diet and exercise is
usually the first recommendation. For somebody’s types and situations, it can work. Next,
there is medical weight loss using prescribed medications like Saxenda or Contrave. While
effect, they are not magic and the weight won’t disappear overnight. If those methods did
not work for you, Bariatric Surgery is an option.

reduces scarring, reduces recovery times, and avoids full open abdomen surgery.
