Gastric bypass is a surgical procedure that helps in losing excess weight by changing the structure of your stomach and small intestine, which handles the food you eat. However, gastric bypass before and after results are the most common concern patients ask for, which helps them to make an informed decision.

Gastric Bypass Surgery Before and After – A Real Patient Success Story

Gastric bypass surgery is a procedure that helps many patients who are willing to lose weight; however, many patients are willing to know about the gastric bypass before and after effects, and whether it is an effective solution or not.

In this article, we will discuss gastric bypass surgery, why it is important, and a success story that will help you make an informed decision.

What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Gastric bypass is also known as Roux-en-Y, which is a type of weight loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it with a newly created pouch directly to the small intestine.

After surgery, the food you swallow will go directly to the small created pouch and then to the small intestine, thereby bypassing most of your stomach and the first section of your small intestine.

However, gastric bypass is one of the most common types of weight loss surgery, which is performed when other methods like diet and exercise haven’t worked or when you have serious health problems because of your weight.

Why Gastric Bypass Surgery is Performed?

The gastric bypass surgery is performed to help you lose excess weight and reduce the risk of potentially life-threatening weight-related health problems, such as:

  • Gastroesophageal reflux disease
  • Heart disease
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Obstructive sleep apnea
  • Type 2 diabetes
  • Stroke
  • Cancer
  • Infertility
