What Is Weight Loss Surgery?

Iowa Weight Loss Specialists, CMA Stephanie, meeting with a patient.Weight loss surgery, also called bariatric surgery, helps you lose weight by adjusting how your stomach and digestive system work. It is used to treat obesity, typically in individuals with a BMI of 40 or higher, especially when exercise and diet alone have not been effective.

It works by:

  • Reducing the size of your stomach
  • Helping you feel full sooner
  • Lowering hunger hormones
  • Supporting long-term lifestyle changes

At Iowa Specialty Hospitals & Clinics, we offer gastric sleeve surgery, one of the most effective and widely used weight loss procedures today.
