How Gastric Bypass Works

Gastric bypass surgery changes the way your digestive system handles food in two key ways:

First, a small stomach pouch is created. This limits how much food you can eat at one time.
Second, a portion of the small intestine is rerouted. This reduces the number of calories and nutrients your body absorbs.

Together, these changes help you feel satisfied with smaller meals while also decreasing how many calories your body processes.

Most Frisco patients lose between 60–75% of their excess weight. The most noticeable changes often happen during the first several months, followed by continued weight loss over the next one to two years.

Covered by most insurance providers

Our alternatives to lap band surgery, including SADI-S duodenal switch surgery, are covered by most major insurers.
