How Gastric Bypass Works

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

A small stomach pouch is created, limiting how much you can eat at one time.
A portion of the small intestine is rerouted, reducing calorie and nutrient absorption.

This combination helps you feel satisfied with much smaller meals while also decreasing the number of calories your body processes.

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