Types of Gastric Surgery Performed

Gastric Bypass
Stomach Bypass (or Bariatric Surgery) is a permanent, major operation. The doctors create a small pouch in the stomach after bypassing the lower portion of the stomach. An opening is created in the small pouch which connects to the lower end of the upper intestine. Food enters the small stomach, causing a sensation of fullness before it slowly empties into the intestine through the newly reconstructed opening. The doctors recommend a close follow-up including routine blood work twice a year.

Laparoscopic or open bariatric surgery, such as gastric banding or bypass is not an easy solution to morbid obesity and weight loss. It is a serious surgical procedure, involving health risks. To produce lasting weight loss it requires a long-term patient commitment to eating a healthy diet and following a regular program of physical exercise. Life-long use of nutritional supplements may also be necessary. So, before deciding, discuss your options fully with your doctor. © 2003-2008 Bariatric-Surgery.Info - Terms - Contact - Information - Resources - Add URL
