, Bariatric surgery is a medical weight loss intervention. It is used
to treat people with extreme obesity (BMI greater than or equal
to 40) who have not been able to lose weight with other weight
management strategies. Complete each sentence with the
appropriate term. Correct Answers - The least invasive type of
weight-loss surgery is adjustable gastric banding. As a result of
this procedure, the surgeon can reduce or increase the size of the
stomach after surgery.
- Gastric bypass and gastric banding procedures can be
performed via laparoscopic surgery, making small incisions to
insert cameras and instruments into the abdomen.
- The sleeve gastrectomy procedure involves removing a major
part of the stomach, which reduces the stomach's size. This
procedure does not involve bypassing part of the small intestine,
so the body is able to absorb nutrients.
- During the Roux-en-Y procedure, the surgeon staples across
the top part of the stomach to create a small pouch and bypasses
part of the small intestine. Although the unused portion of the
stomach is not removed, the surgery results in reduced digestion
and absorption of nutrients.
