GASTRIC BY PASS

Gastric bypass is a weight loss surgery that involves creating a smaller stomach pouch and rerouting a portion of the small intestine. 

This limits the amount of food you can eat and reduces calorie absorption. The surgeon divides the stomach, creating a small upper pouch, and connects it to the lower part of the small intestine. This bypasses a portion of the stomach and small intestine. The procedure restricts food intake and causes some malabsorption, resulting in weight loss. It's a major surgery with potential risks and lifelong follow-up for monitoring and nutritional support.
