Bariatric這個字 is a doctor's adjective for the care of people who live with obesity是醫生用來形容照顧肥胖患者的形容詞 — body weight so high that it starts to harm health也就是體重高到開始傷害健康的程度。 You will see it你會在這些詞裡看到它 in bariatric surgery像bariatric surgery（減重手術，也就是把胃變小或改變進食方式的手術）, bariatric clinic減重門診, and bariatric patient減重病患。

It is hospital English: letters, news about operations, insurance forms. It is not a kind word to hang on someone in the street; that would sound cold.

It它 is hospital English是醫院用語：letters, news about operations, insurance forms像信件、手術相關報導、保險表格。 It它 is not a kind word to hang on someone in the street不是拿來在街上稱呼一個人的親切用詞；that would sound cold那樣聽起來會很冷漠。

Though actually, many families never say bariatric at all. They say weight-loss surgery — and in Taiwan, 減重手術. The medical word is the precise one; the everyday words are the ones people actually speak.
