gastric bypass
Gastric bypass is a type of weight-loss surgery that helps people with obesity. It works by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine. This reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold and limits calorie absorption.
The procedure can lead to significant weight loss and improve related health issues, such as type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. However, it requires lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet and regular exercise, to maintain long-term results and prevent complications.
