What is bariatrics?

Bariatric surgery is performed on patients who, despite conservative treatment (such as various diets and physical activity), experience no weight loss or whose weight loss is unsustainable. It is also performed on individuals whose obesity significantly impacts their daily lives and limits them in many ways, often leading to depressive disorders.
