Introduction
Bariatric surgery isn’t just about reducing stomach size. It’s about resetting your body’s weight-regulation system. If you’re wondering how bariatric surgery helps with weight loss, the answer involves more than calories.
How Does Bariatric Surgery Help With Weight Loss?
- Hormonal Changes: Surgeries like sleeve gastrectomy reduce ghrelin (the hunger hormone).
- Reduced Stomach Capacity: Smaller meals lead to early satiety.
- Improved Insulin Sensitivity: Weight loss improves metabolic efficiency.
Comparing Bariatric Procedures for Weight Loss
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: Removes 80% of the stomach, leading to reduced hunger and faster fullness.
- Gastric Bypass: Bypasses part of the intestine, adding a malabsorption component.
- SIPS/SADI: Combines sleeve with a simplified bypass for powerful long-term results.
Expected Bariatric Weight Loss Results
- 3 months: 15–25% total weight loss
- 6 months: 30–50% total weight loss
- 12 months: 50–70% excess weight loss
