Laparoscopic gastric bypass is a common type of bariatric surgery typically performed on patients with a BMI of 40 or greater. Because laparoscopic surgery is less invasive, it is recommended over traditional surgery whenever possible. Laparoscopic surgery is performed through small incisions, drastically reducing a patient's recovery time. In gastric bypass surgery, the size of the stomach is reduced, resulting in less food consumption. This in turn reduces calorie intake, resulting in weight loss. Before considering this surgery, it's important to do a lot of research and talk to your physician to decide if this surgery is right for you.
