  2. Weight Loss Surgery This procedure is one of the most popular techniques of modern-day medicine. Weight loss surgery not only reduces the patients’ weight but also decreases the chance of obesity-related health issues. This procedure is done using the laparoscopic method to minimize the scar and to enable a speedy recovery . Bariatric surgery, also referred to as weight loss surgery, is the procedure done for those people who are severely obese. In this weight loss procedure, the size of the stomach is reduced by implanting gastric banding medical device. This can also be done by re-routing and resenting the small intestines to a small stomach pouch and the process is termed as gastric bypass surgery. The other way could be a removal of the stomach (Biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch or sleeve gastrectomy)
