                                According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, over 90% of bariatric surgery patients successfully lose 50% or more of their excess body weight. Adhering to a carefully structured **general bariatric diet** is a cornerstone of this success, supporting both initial recovery and long-term weight management.
