Restrictive type: In these surgeries, the nutritional pathway does not change, only the amount of food taken decreases.

Malabsorption Surgeries: In this type of surgery, the absorption of food is disrupted, food passes directly to the small intestine, and the aim is to reduce fat-carbohydrate absorption.

Mixed Type: These are methods that reduce both the amount of food consumed and its absorption.

Sleeve Gastrectomy: It is a restrictive type of surgery. It is the most commonly performed bariatric surgery method all over the world. Its most important advantage is that it does not impair absorption.
