Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass
and other weight-loss surgeries make changes to your digestive system to help
you lose weight by limiting how much you can eat or by reducing the absorption
of nutrients, or both.
Gastric bypass and other
weight-loss surgeries are done when diet and exercise haven't worked or when
you have serious health problems because of your weight.
Still, all forms of weight-loss
surgery, including gastric bypass, are major procedures that can pose
serious risks and side effects.
Gastric bypass surgery
is done to help you lose excess weight and reduce your risk of potentially
life-threatening weight-related health problems, including:
·
Gastroesophageal
reflux disease
·
Heart disease
·
High blood pressure
·
Severe sleep apnea
·
Type 2 diabetes
·
Stroke
