In New York city many health care practioners that help peoples suffering from losing weight. Most are able to refer patients to qualified bariatric doctors after a thorough assessment has been made. Patients who have a hard time losing weight, and are suffering from fat accumulation in concentrated areas such as the gut undergoes an aciurgy called bariatric surgery.

The purpose of this aciurgy is to change the process of food absorption to be able to reduce the absorption of calories and nutrients that are pertinent to increasing fat and weight. Digestion often starts in the mouth when food is chewed as it mixes with saliva and enzyme containing secretions.
