The bariatric procedure that is most often performed is the Roux-en-Y. During this gastric by pass surgery, the physician first separates the top section of the stomach from the lower part. This small top portion results in a significantly decreased stomach capacity. During the next phase of the procedure, the surgeon creates the bypass that directs food from the stomach's uppermost portion to the middle portion of the small bowel. By circumventing the bottom of the stomach and the first section of small intestine, the body has less ability to absorb calories which results in weight loss.
