According to annecollins.com, the term "bariatric" is Greek for the words "weight" and "treatment." Bariatric surgery is a type of weight loss program that is used for severely overweight individuals. Before surgery, food enters the stomach and stomach acids then dissolve the food into smaller particles. The liquid then enters into the digestive system where many of the calories are burned. The surgery is able to reduce the size of the stomach by up to 90 percent. This prevents people from overeating and speeds up satiety. After surgery, patients are required to change their eating habits. If patients do manage to overeat, they can become very sick. Patients are also at risk of nutritional deficiencies. Some people will have success with programs, but others will not. Some people will lose between 100 and 200 pounds, some will reach a healthier weight and some remain overweight. Candidates for the bariatrics weight loss program are those who are considered to be morbidly obese. This means if you are a man, you are 100 pounds overweight or 80 pounds if you are a woman.
