Obesity is a complex, chronic metabolic disease. While diet is a powerful tool, biology often plays a stronger role. Bariatric surgery is the solution that works with your biology to support long-term success.

Understanding Metabolic Adaptation

For years, many believed weight loss was simple math: calories in vs. calories out. However, for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) over 35, the equation is different.

When you reduce calories, your body adapts to conserve energy. It adjusts your metabolism to becoming more efficient, increases hunger hormones (like Ghrelin), and prioritizes energy storage. This metabolic adaptation explains why sustained weight loss is so difficult with lifestyle changes alone.

The Surgical Advantage: A Metabolic Reset

Bariatric surgery offers a unique advantage: it resets your body's metabolic thermostat.

Beyond reducing stomach size, surgery positively alters the chemical signaling between your gut and your brain. It lowers your weight set point, enabling you to lose weight—and maintain it—with a renewed sense of satiety and control.

Your Treatment Options

1. The Foundation: Lifestyle Changes

Healthy eating and active living are essential. For those with severe obesity, these habits become truly effective when supporting a medical intervention.

2. The Helping Hand: Medical Management

Prescription weight-loss medications can assist by managing appetite, serving as a helpful bridge for many.

3. The Gold Standard: Bariatric Surgery

For those with a BMI over 40 (or over 35 with health issues), surgery stands as the most proven treatment.

The Modern Standard: Gastric Sleeve

Surgeons refine the stomach size by approximately 80%, removing the "hunger hormone" center. Patients typically feel satisfied sooner and shed 60-70% of excess weight.

The Metabolic Powerhouse: Gastric Bypass

Ideal for severe diabetes or reflux. By moderating intake and optimizing calorie processing, it offers exceptional weight loss (70-80%) and rapid disease remission.
