Bariatric surgery is a type of surgical procedure to change the body's digestive tract to induce weight loss. Over the past few years it has become a very common procedure known also as gastric bypass or gastric sleeve. It is helpful in allowing large amounts of weight loss and in turn decrease medical risks due to obesity levels. The main thing with these surgeries is making the stomach smaller which in turn makes you fuller sooner. Having a smaller stomach also means you will have less absorption of vitamins and nutrients.

Many times this can lead to low energy, mental fog, and sleep disturbances.
