Gastric Bypass
Gastric Bypass is a surgical procedure for weight loss in which the stomach is divided into a small upper portion and a larger lower pouch and then rearranging the small intestine to connect to both portions.
In Gastric Bypass, a surgeon makes several small incisions to insert a laparoscope and surgical tools to divide the stomach and connect the portions to the small intestine.
A bariatric surgeon is a medical doctor who is an expert in performing Gastric Bypass Surgery.
The success rate of Gastric Bypass is usually high and lies above 95%.
Dumping syndrome, low blood sugar, bowel obstruction, ulcers, hernias, nausea, dizziness, malnutrition are some long-term risks for patients that may come with Gastric Bypass Surgery.
