Gastric bypass surgery is a surgery actually invented by Dr. Mason around 1968 as a method of losing weight. What it accomplishes is to make the stomach very small with a very small outlet. So it's what we call a restrictive procedure; it prevents things from going through fast, and it also bypasses a portion of the stomach and intestine, the duodena portion of the intestine, in order for patients to be able to lose weight. In one they are forced to lose weight, they are forced to learn how to eat appropriately.
This surgery costs 35-40k in the USA out of pocket with out insurance. If you traveled abroad you would receive equal or BETTER care, air, hotel and even an aftercare program in places like Costa Rica and Mexico for as low as 10,000 USD. Check out a company named MedPath Group they are famous for these types of procedures.
