Overview 

Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most commonly used methods in obesity surgery. In this procedure, a small part of the stomach is separated and connected to a part of the small intestine. This reduces the volume of the stomach and partially prevents the absorption of nutrients. Gastric bypass surgery is suitable for people who cannot lose weight with diet and exercise or who have serious health problems related to obesity.
