The Gastric Bypass Procedure

Often referred to as the “gold standard” of weight loss surgery, the Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass is one of the most established and effective bariatric procedures. It works through a dual-action mechanism:

  • Restriction

    The surgeon creates a small stomach pouch, about the size of an egg, which physically restricts the amount of food you can eat at one time.

  • Malabsorption

    The new pouch is connected to a lower part of the small intestine, causing food to “bypass” the upper section. This reduces the number of calories and nutrients your body absorbs.
