Weight loss: Restricting the size of your stomach one goal. Decreasing the length of your bowel is another. Both are aids in weight loss and have a risk/benefit analysis that will impact how you decide with your health care team what is right for you. Some people with obesity can lose weight with diet and exercise alone, which will continue with each aid that you add to diet and exercise. Good luck, be well.
