About Bariatric Surgery Specialists
Bariatric surgeons provide surgical procedures for weight loss and obesity treatment that make the stomach smaller. Bariatric surgery helps people lose weight because they feel full soon after starting to eat and end up eating less. Bariatric surgery also helps treat certain hormonal diseases such as diabetes that are related to being overweight or obese.
