Obesity and metabolism surgery is a branch of treatment that aims to improve the health of patients by using surgical techniques in the treatment of overweight and metabolic diseases. This treatment is applied to treat health problems in overweight or obese individuals.

It can be performed using different surgical techniques such as obesity and metabolism surgery, stomach reduction surgeries, gastric bypass surgeries, biliopancreatic diversion surgeries and intragastric balloon surgeries. These surgeries are effective in the treatment of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea, as well as other obesity-related health problems.

Obesity and metabolism surgery is a treatment method used together with diet and exercise to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Therefore, it is important for patients to change their eating habits and exercise before and after surgery. Post-operative follow-up and regular check-ups also help patients maintain their health.
