Weight loss Surgery or
Bariatric surgery

gastric banding
;
sleeve gastrectomy
or
biliopancreatic diversion
; or by
gastric bypass
.
Laparoscopic
or Keyhole obesity surgery permits a shorter hospital stay and shorter recovery time with less pain. It is usually undertaken by a
Bariatic Surgeon
or
General Surgeon
under general anaesthesia.
