Gastric bypass is surgery that helps you lose weight altering the shape and path of the stomach such that it changes the way the small intestine and body handles food. The stomach is made smaller by surgical stapling, whereby the stomach is divided into a small upper section and a large lower section. The smaller, walnut sized upper section called pouch is where the food that is consumed through the mouth goes. The surgeon then connects a part of the small intestine to the pouch so that the food that is eaten goes directly into this new opening. Because of this, the body will not get all of the calories from the food you eat and hence consume fewer calories thereby aiding weight reduction.
