Gastric Bypass
Gastric Bypass is a type of weight-loss surgery that helps individuals reduce their food intake and absorb fewer calories. The procedure involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large portion of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine. This leads to a feeling of fullness after consuming smaller amounts of food.
Patients who undergo Gastric Bypass often experience significant weight loss and improvements in obesity-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. However, it requires a commitment to lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet and regular exercise, to maintain long-term results.
