What is bariatric surgery?
Bariatric surgery is the set of surgical procedures designed to reduce body weight in patients with severe obesity (BMI 35 or higher with comorbidities, or BMI 40 or higher), when medical treatment has not achieved sufficient results. It is the most effective intervention for long-term weight loss and for the remission of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. In Medellin, bariatric surgeons certified by the SCCBM and IFSO perform the three standard procedures: sleeve gastrectomy, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and SADI-S. All are performed laparoscopically, with 3-5 days of hospitalization and progressive recovery.
