How
does surgery promote weight loss?
Bariatric surgery
produces weight loss by restricting
food intake and, in some cases, interfering with nutrition through
malabsorption. Patients who undergo bariatric surgery must also commit
to a lifetime of healthy eating and regular physical activity. These
healthy habits help ensure that the weight loss from surgery is
successfully maintained.
