How Bariatric Surgery Works
Bariatric surgery works through two main mechanisms:
1. Restriction
Reduces stomach size, limiting food intake and creating early satiety. You feel full with smaller portions.
2. Metabolic Changes
Alters gut hormones (GLP-1, ghrelin) that control hunger, blood sugar, and metabolism. This leads to:
- Reduced appetite and cravings
- Improved insulin sensitivity
- Better diabetes control
- Enhanced fat burning
