Bariatric surgeries/weight loss surgeries were formerly considered as the last option for weight loss after dieting, exercise, and other medically prescribed programs had failed.

However, these surgeries are now increasingly being accepted by the medical community as an effective and long-lasting alternative to other weight loss techniques. This factor, coupled with the rapidly increasing obesity rates, has resulted in a rapid increase in the number of bariatric surgeries across the globe. For instance, according to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery (ASMBS), the total number of bariatric surgeries performed in the US increased to 196,000 in 2015 from 158,000 in 2011.
