Weight loss treatments FAQ - 7
How do weight loss procedures work?
Weight loss procedures work by making your stomach smaller. Some types of surgery also change the path food takes through your gut so that fewer calories and nutrients get absorbed. Another procedure changes the nerve signals between the brain and the stomach so you don't feel hungry.
Weight loss surgery is appropriate only for people who:
- Have a BMI greater than 40; or
- Have a BMI of 35 to 39.9 and also have medical problems, such as diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure
- Have a BMI of 30 or greater and have diabetes that cannot be controlled in other ways

Weight loss treatments FAQ - 8
How do I decide if weight loss treatment is right for me?
If your doctor suggests weight loss treatment, ask these questions:
- About how much weight can I expect to lose and how long will that take? – This depends on the treatment. There are several different types of stomach surgeries to help with weight loss. The amount of weight loss and how long it takes to lose weight is different for each one.
- What are the risks of treatment for someone like me? – Medicines can have side effects. Surgery can lead to infections, bleeding and the need for other operations. To reduce the risk of these problems, make sure your surgeon is very experienced and that you are treated at a certified "Center of Excellence."
- What changes will I need to make to my diet and lifestyle? – Weight loss treatments are not "short-cuts" that get you out of making lifestyle changes. People getting treated must also change how they eat and how active they are. No weight loss treatment works on its own. Sometimes people can get surgery only after they prove they can make lifestyle changes – by losing some weight on their own.
- Will I be able to process food normally? – Some types of stomach surgeries leave people unable to get all the nutrients they need from food. People who have this problem must take vitamin and mineral supplements for the rest of their lives.
