Gastric Bypass Surgery, an Overview

With the number of people suffering from obesity rising so
rapidly in America it was only a matter of time before the
miracle cure for those who were morbidly obese. Is it all really
as simple as stapling your stomach?

The gastric bypass has suffered both positive and negative press
since it’s availability to the general public. We’ve heard the
fatal horror stories resulting in death months down the line
after the surgery, but we’ve also heard the success stories by
hundreds of satisfied and much trimmer people!

The surgery sounds simple, the surgeon will tie off part of your
stomach creating a re-route around the rest of the stomach which
reduces the amount of food the person can take in, causing them
to feel hungry after only a few bites. Its clear why the gastric
bypass works and why weight loss is very rapid after the surgery.

While it sounds simple on the surface the gastric bypass is
actually a very complex procedure, both for the surgeon and the
patient, mentally and physically. The rigid diet a patient must
stick to afterwards could be challenging and there are important
nutrients to take.

You should always seek professional advice if you’re thinking
about having the gastric bypass, and remember there are many
other ways of weight loss. Invasive surgery always carries a
risk.
