WHAT IS A GASTRIC BYPASS?
Gastric Bypass is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine. This way, the food you eat bypasses most of your stomach and the first part of your small intestine, reducing the amount of calories and nutrients you absorb. Gastric Bypass can help you lose excess weight and improve your health conditions, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea.
