Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass surgery involves creating a small stomach pouch to reduce food intake. A Y-shaped part of the small intestine is then attached, bypassing part of the small intestine to reduce the absorption of calories. These techniques significantly decrease food intake and reduce hunger to promote healthy weight loss. Gastric bypass helps in long-term behavior modification by reducing tolerance for foods with a high sugar or fat content.
Gastric bypass can greatly improve the quality of life by not only improving appearance and mobility, but also significantly reducing the number and severity of obesity-related health problems.
The surgery can be done laparoscopically in many cases, reducing the post surgery discomfort and recovery time.
Most of the weight is lost within the first year and weight loss is usually completed by the middle of the second year.
