Bariatric Surgery
A group of surgical procedures that reduce the size of the stomach and sometimes additionally re-routing the intestine. Reducing the size of the stomach decreases the amount of food someone can eat before they get full, therefore decreasing calorie intake. Re-routing the small intestine to decrease the absorption of the food that was consumed to allow the food to get to the end of the small intestine faster.
