Wondering which bariatric surgery is the right fit? π€
Choosing the best procedure depends on a thorough medical assessment. Doctors evaluate several key factors to make the right recommendation, including:
β
Your general health condition
β
Your Body Mass Index (BMI)
β
The presence of a hiatal hernia
β
Your cardiovascular health
Based on these assessments, patients may be advised to undergo a gastric bypass, a sleeve gastrectomy, or a gastric band, though bands are performed much less frequently nowadays.
The most important takeaway? No matter which procedure is chosen, all of these bariatric surgeries provide almost the exact same rate of weight loss and long-term weight maintenance! π
