BENEFITS. 1  Gastric bypass surgery, in combination with diet and exercise, can successfully help patients lose 50-60% of excess weight over a period of about two years. Other procedures can result in as much as 80% loss of excess weight.
Gastric bypass is a surgery that can help adults and some adolescents who are very obese (morbidly obese) lose weight. It involves attaching the stomach directly to the middle of the small intestine. This reduces the amount of calories and nutrients that are absorbed by the body. Gastric bypass surgery usually includes a stomach stapling procedure. Stomach stapling reduces the size of your stomach and the amount of food you can eat at one time.
