Best Obesity Surgery Packages in Italy

Significant weight loss through bariatric surgery may pave the way for many exciting opportunities for you, your family, and - most importantly - your health!

Weight loss surgery helps people with extreme obesity to lose weight. It may be an option if you cannot lose weight through diet and exercise or have serious health problems caused by obesity.

Bariatric surgery includes a variety of procedures, grouped in three main categories: predominantly malabsorptive, predominantly restrictive, and mixed. Weight loss is achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with a gastric band or through removal of a portion of the stomach (sleeve gastrectomy or biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch) or by resecting and re-routing the small intestine to a small stomach pouch (gastric bypass surgery).

Doctors recommend weight loss surgery for people who:

Have a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or more. This would be about 100 pounds overweight for men or 80 pounds for women.
Have a lower BMI (but are still obese) and have a serious health problem related to obesity.
Have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight by other means.
Fully understand the risks.
