Bariatric surgery, also known as Weight loss surgery, can be very important nowadays, especially for those who are obese and are looking forward to losing weight. According to the IFSO (International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Disorders), in 2019, almost 21,000 bariatric procedures were performed in India.
