Metabolic surgery is defined as those surgical procedures in individuals with a body mass index <35kg/m2 with the intention of producing an improvement in the control of metabolic diseases such as diabetes, arterial hypertension and dyslipidemia.
In addition to reducing excess weight, metabolic surgery helps control the levels of sugar, cholesterol and insulin in the body.
It is not just about losing weight, but about improving general health and treating disease.
