<p><b>New page</b></p><div>Bariatric surgery ("weight loss surgery") is the use of surgical intervention in the treatment of obesity. As every operation may have complications, surgery is only recommended for severely obese people (BMI&nbsp;>&nbsp;40) who have failed to lose weight following dietary modification and pharmacological treatment. Weight loss surgery relies on various principles: the two most common approaches are reducing the volume of the stomach (e.g. by [[adjustable gastric band]]ing and [[Vertical banded gastroplasty surgery|vertical banded gastroplasty]]), which produces an earlier sense of satiation, and reducing the length of bowel that comes into contact with food (e.g. by [[gastric bypass surgery]] or [[Duodenal-jejunal bypass liner|endoscopic duodenal-jejunal bypass surgery]]), which directly reduces absorption. Band surgery is reversible, while bowel shortening operations are not. Some procedures can be performed [[laparoscopic surgery|laparoscopically]]. Complications from weight loss surgery are frequent.</div>FuzzyBot
