What is gastric bypass method?
Gastric bypass is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine. After gastric bypass, swallowed food will go into this small pouch of the stomach and then directly into the small intestine by passing most of your stomach and the first section of your small intestine.
