Life-Changing Weight Loss Through Bariatric Surgery
Losing weight can sometimes feel like an insurmountable challenge, especially when traditional weight-loss methods like diet and exercise seem to make little impact. This struggle is not just about shedding pounds; it’s an intricate battle involving genetic predispositions, metabolic rates, and psychological hurdles, often leaving individuals feeling defeated and hopeless.
This is where bariatric surgery can provide a safe, effective solution. But it’s more than just a surgical procedure—bariatric surgery can be a transformative tool, resetting the body’s physical functions and enabling substantial, sustainable weight loss. It’s not just about reducing stomach size; it’s about reprogramming the body’s hunger signals and metabolism, offering a profound and effective intervention for those who have long struggled with obesity.

Weight-Loss Surgery: Bariatric Conditions and Procedures
In addition to being an effective surgical procedure for weight loss, bariatric surgery is a medical intervention that can significantly alleviate serious health conditions associated with obesity, including:
- Type 2 Diabetes
- High Blood Pressure
- Heart Disease
- Sleep Apnea
- Osteoarthritis
- Certain types of cancer
To help treat these concerns, Surgery Clinic of Tupelo offers a range of bariatric surgery options designed to aid in significant weight loss and improve overall health, including:
- Gastric Bypass: This procedure involves creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large part of the stomach and a segment of the small intestine. This reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold and decreases the absorption of nutrients.
- Sleeve Gastrectomy: Also known as a gastric sleeve, this surgery involves removing about 80% of the stomach, leaving a tube-shaped stomach about the size and shape of a banana. This limits the amount of food you can eat and decreases hunger hormone levels.
- Adjustable Gastric Band: This involves placing a band around the upper part of the stomach to create a small pouch that can hold only a small amount of food. The band’s tightness can be adjusted by adding or removing saline through a port placed under the skin.
Each procedure has its own specific indications and advantages, and our surgeons will work with you to determine the most suitable option for your individual needs.
Is Bariatric Surgery Right for Me?
Bariatric surgery can be a life-changing decision and it’s important to determine if it’s the right choice for you. Surgery Clinic of Tupelo offers comprehensive evaluations to assess your physical health, understand your weight loss goals, and discuss the potential benefits and risks.
Bariatric surgery is typically targeted toward individuals who have a body mass index (BMI) of 35 or greater. Use the BMI assessment tool from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute to accurately calculate your BMI.
