It is necessary to point out that surgical intervention for the treatment of obesity comes when the patient fails to lose weight for three serious attempts with diet and exercise, so the surgical intervention comes as a final solution to the obesity problem. The surgical treatment of obesity is based on scientific bases related to the human weight and the weight of the excess fat mass. This intervention is usually carried out if the body mass is 40 or more, but if the obese patient has complications and health problems such as diabetes for adults, then surgical intervention is performed if the patient’s body mass is 35 or more. There are three types of surgical treatment for obesity, and the type of surgery is chosen after discussing the options between the patient
And the surgeon, and there are factors that help determine the type of surgery, such as the patient’s age, health condition, complications of obesity, body mass, the presence of previous obesity operations, the surgeon’s experience, and the choice and desire of the patient.

It works to control the amount of food a person eats by accelerating his sense of satiety by pressing the stomach with a belt that connects to the stomach to reduce its expansion. The gastric band surgery is suitable for young patients with low body mass (35-40) who are in good health without any complications of obesity and have a high determination to adhere to diet and exercise.
Second method:
It is known as the process of reducing the stomach or cutting the stomach as a final solution to the problem of expansion suffered by the obese patient, which leads to the failure of all attempts to follow diet programs, and this method works to determine the amount of fat absorption from eating.
Third method:

During this period, it is noted that the body weight decreases rapidly and the weight continues to drop, with the need for continuous follow-up with the team of specialized doctors who supervised the operation. Otherwise, neglect may expose the patient to serious problems that are indispensable. This method is suitable for the elderly and those with heavy weights. As for patients who suffer from complications of obesity such as diabetes, and patients with weak will towards diets, it is better to perform a gastric reduction and transfer Intestine.
