Gastric bypass is a surgery that helps a person lose weight by changing how the stomach and small intestine handle the food a patient eats. The food a patient eat will no longer go into some parts of the stomach and small intestine that absorb food. Because of this, the body will not get all of the calories from the food we eat.
If you have a BMI higher than 35

Gastric Bypass is one of the effective bariatric procedures for weight loss. It has a very high success rate and the patients have been able to lose up to 70% of their excess weight and maintain it for a period of ten years or longer without significant increase in the weight. It does not put added restriction on the food choices and diet plan.
Procedure:
The hospital stay in case of Gastric Bypass is short ranging from 2-4 days and the complete recovery may take from 1-3 months depending upon the type of surgery performed i.e. laparoscopic surgery or open surgery.
The patient will be kept on liquid diet initially and brought to solid foods over a period of time. The procedure is very safe and effective for rapid weight loss as the body’s ability to absorb calories and nutrients from the food is restricted significantly.
Almost all kinds of foods are well tolerated by the patients undergoing this surgery however, the patient should always stay away from sweets as it can cause dumping syndrome meaning the patients can get diarrhea, dizziness, lightheadedness, etc. if they consume too much sweets.
