About gastric bypass

Gastric bypass surgery is one the most popular weight-loss surgeries leading to the effective and long lasting loss of excess weight and an improvement of other extra weight inflicted diseases. In gastric bypass a surgeon reduces the size of the stomach and the length of the gastrointestinal tract, then a small pouch of 15–30 ml is formed from the upper part of the stomach.

The size of the stomach is reduced by 70 - 90 %, the body absorbs less calories, therefore onetime food intake capacity decreases significantly and a patient feels early sensation of fullness which means that you need less food to feel full.
