Lower Risk With A Gastric Bypass Sleeve Surgery?
If you're extremely overweight and your doctor has suggested a gastric bypass, it may be worth looking into the gastric bypass sleeve surgery first.

With a gastric sleeve, the left portion of your stomach is removed to create a smaller shape that will let you lose the first 100 lbs. or so of weight.
