Overview

Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most effective and widely used bariatric procedures for treating obesity. In this procedure, a surgeon creates a small stomach pouch and connects it directly to the small intestine. This not only significantly reduces the amount of food you can eat but also alters the absorption of nutrients, leading to substantial and lasting weight loss. Gastric bypass surgery is an excellent option for individuals who have not been successful with diet and exercise alone or who suffer from serious obesity-related health conditions.
