Bariatric surgery reduces stomach size and changes gut hormones to produce lasting weight loss and often improves or resolves type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea and high blood pressure.
It is done laparoscopically through small incisions, with a dietitian-led programme before and after surgery.
Adults with a BMI over 37.5, or over 32.5 with diabetes or other obesity-related conditions.
