What Is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Gastric bypass surgery is a weight-loss surgery that modifies the digestive system. It involves reducing the stomach size and bypassing part of the small intestine. The procedure helps patients with obesity lose weight by limiting food intake and nutrient absorption. Ideal for individuals who have not succeeded with other weight loss methods, gastric bypass surgery is especially effective for those with other related health issues such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease.
