In New York city many health care practioners that help peoples suffering from losing weight. Most are able to refer patients to qualified bariatric doctors after a thorough assessment has been made. Patients who have a hard time losing weight, and are suffering from fat accumulation in concentrated areas such as the gut undergoes an aciurgy called bariatric surgery.

The purpose of this aciurgy is to change the process of food absorption to be able to reduce the absorption of calories and nutrients that are pertinent to increasing fat and weight. Digestion often starts in the mouth when food is chewed as it mixes with saliva and enzyme containing secretions. Once it is sent through the stomach where it undergoes a chemical process that uses digestive juices that break the nutrients and calories apart from the food.

The open method uses surgical knives to open half inch cuts into the stomach area that uses other smaller devices to remove fat and insert devices around the stomach organ. Compared to laparoscopy which is more preferred by many patients because it offers less complications than the normal open method.

Surgeries are four kinds all which use devices that restrict and promote malabsorption in digestion process. Restrictive devices and surgery are used to decrease physically the diameter of the organ. Compared to malabsorption surgeries that also uses restrictive devices as well as promote a disturbance in flow of meal absorption.

The pylorus is a kind of valve which controls the flow of food into the stomach. However it is a high risk and causes long term health problems since nutrients and food have a harder time being absorb. Most patients require to take supplementary minerals and vitamins. Gastric Sleeve surgery is done by the surgeon making a large cut on the abdomen that uses small tools and a camera to guide the surgeon during the operation.

A non reversible surgeries like this can virtually promote a long term reduction of size in the gut. And this is one of the most common type of surgery completed throughout the world.
