Weight loss surgery has other names that might give better insight in to how these operations really work. "Bariatric surgery" is the most traditional name and is derived from the meaning of the word bariatric which is pressure , and so refers to surgery that puts pressure on the body to lose weight. And the other name which is gaining more and more use is "Metabolic Surgery". This is because these operations actually work by changing peoples metabolism and therefore enabling them to lose weight.
