Excessive deposition of fat in the adipose tissue is called obesity .Obesity can be determined by calculating the Body Mass Index [BMI] value. For treatment of obesity bariatric surgery is used. It is the surgery where weight loss is achieved by reducing the size of the stomach with a gastric band or through removal of a portion of the stomach or by resecting and re-routing the small intestines to a small stomach pouch. Efforts to treat morbid obesity through controlled diets, behavior modification and exercise programs are only temporarily successful with the patient invariably regaining even more weight than the amount lost. When compare to other "Allopathic, Ayurvedic, Homeopathic treatment bariatric surgery gives long term weight loss and also produces good quality of health. Bariatric surgery has been shown to help improve or resolve many obesity-related conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart diseases.
