Excess weight causes imbalances that result in medical conditions that impact both the respiratory and digestive systems. Bariatric surgical procedures can promote weight loss through a combination of restricting the amount of food the stomach can hold and malabsorption. Furthermore, surgery can improve obesity-related comorbidities.
Instructions

What regulatory mechanisms both physical and chemical help maintain homeostasis in the respiratory and digestive systems?
How does excess weight cause imbalances that result in medical conditions?
What are the physiological impacts of the three different types of bariatric surgeries (gastric band, gastric sleeve, and gastrointestinal bypass)?
