A Surgical Approach to Fighting Obesity: All about Bariatrics
Bariatrics is a surgical intervention to reduce the volume of the stomach, which is performed in cases where obesity is not only an unpleasant problem, but also seriously threatens the patient’s health, and the methods of conservative medicine and dietetics are no longer effective.
Dr. David Mahatadze is one of the leading specialists in the field of bariatrics. He successfully performs operations aimed at significant weight loss, and helps patients restore their health and return to a full life.
To prescribe this method of treatment, you need to get a referral from a doctor who will assess your condition and determine whether this method is suitable for you. Bariatric surgery is usually used for severe obesity, when the body mass index exceeds 40 or more than 35, and obesity is accompanied by serious diseases such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension or sleep apnea.
If you experience symptoms such as persistent shortness of breath, chronic fatigue, joint pain, or if you have already been diagnosed with an overweight disease, then bariatric surgery may be the next step on the road to recovery.
