Gastric BypassGastric Bypass refers to a group
of surgical procedures used to treat morbid obesity, a condition which
arises from severe accumulation of excess weight as fatty tissue, and
the health problems that arise from it. These procedures are meant as
an option for people who are severely obese and cannot lose weight by
traditional means or who suffer from serious obesity-related health problems.
A gastric bypass procedure consists of a division of the stomach into
a little upper pouch and a larger lower remnant pouch. The operation promotes
weight loss by restricting food intake and interrupting the digestive
process. It is estimated that roughly 150,000 gastric bypass procedures
were performed in the US last year.
