Most doctors only recommend gastric bypass for those who are morbidly obese, or weigh twice their ideal weight. The surgery is a drastic measure for those who face immediate health consequences because of their weight. If you can safely diet and exercise to lose weight at a steady pace, you should attempt this course of action before discussing gastric bypass.
