Gastric bypass surgery makes the stomach smaller and causes food to bypass part of the small intestine. You will feel full more quickly than when your stomach was its original size. This reduces the amount of food you can eat at one time. Bypassing part of the intestine reduces how much food and nutrients are absorbed. This leads to weight loss.

∙ 12y agoGastric bypass is a surgery that is performed to aid in rapid weight loss in people whose body mass index is 40 or higher and people that have a life-threatening condition related to obesity. The surgery aids in rapid weight loss by changing how the stomach and small intestine process food. The small intestine will no longer break down all of the food that is consumed by the body, resulting in the body absorbing less calories. As a result of the weight loss from this surgery, most patients are at a lower risk for health related problems.
