How does the Gastric Bypass work?
With gastric bypass surgery procedure as with the Mac Lean vertical banded gastroplasty the stomach is apportioned and a smaller pouch is created. In addition to this procedure a part of the intestine is bypassed reducing the level of food absorption. This means that the candidate has both a smaller stomach and a partial intestinal bypass. The candidate is hit with the “double whammy” of feeling full sooner and absorbing less of their food.
