Weight Loss Surgery. Bariatric surgery, commonly referred to as weight loss surgery (WLS), or obesity surgery. Surgical intervention can help people with severe obesity lose a substantial amount of excess weight, reduce the amount of obesity-related diseases, extend life expectancy, and improve quality of life. The most common bariatric procedures are Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, adjustable gastric banding, sleeve gastrectomy, and biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch surgery.
