Gastric bypass surgery involves dividing the stomach into two parts: a small upper pouch and a larger lower section. The small intestine is then attached to the small pouch, allowing food to bypass most of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. This alters how the body absorbs calories from food, promoting significant weight loss. The surgery is generally only considered for those who cannot lose weight through diet and exercise alone. It can help patients lose up to 77% of excess weight and may resolve or decrease health issues like diabetes and some cancers. However, lifelong changes to diet and lifestyle are needed to maintain the results, and there are risks of complications from the surgery.

• There are two steps in this surgery.
1. The first step makes your stomach minor. Your
surgeon will use staples to separate your
stomach into a tiny upper section and a bigger
bottom section. The upper section of stomach
known as pouch, is where the food you eat
will go. The pouch is about the size of a
walnut. It holds very little food

2. The 2nd step is the bypass. Your surgeon will
attach a tiny part of your small intestine to a
small hole in your pouch. The food you eat will
now travel from the pouch into this new
opening into your small intestine. Due to this,
the body will take up fewer calories.
