Hi! Welcome to health care magic! Thanks for sharing your concerns with us. We will try to help you in best way possible.

Based on your query it seems as if you want to know about the weight loss surgeries available.

Usually two types of surgeries are available. One to help you limit food intake by reducing stomach capacity of food, and thus help in weight loss over the period of time. These include gastric bypass or bariatric surgeries.

The other type is removal of fats through liposuction and abdominoplasty to remove fats with open surgeries.

Both have variable success rates and choice is dependent on individual variations.

First type is offered to young individuals and have less side effects.
Second one is opted or offered to those with severe or morbid obesity at time of presentation and are usually middle aged individual and associated with long recovery time period.

Hope this has answered your query, if you have any more questions, feel free to ask.
