Gastric Bypass Surgery Demonstration- Memorial Weight-Loss Surgery Program

Gastric Bypass Surgery is demonstrated by Dr. Brett Cohen of the Memorial Weight-Loss Surgery Program.

During gastric bypass, a small pouch is cut out of the stomach, and the small intestine is rerouted to this pouch.

This tends to be a quicker, more aggressive weight-loss option.

Unlike the Lap Band, it is neither adjustable, nor reversible.

This type of surgery typically involves a about a two-night hospital stay.

Although most of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine no longer have food traveling through them, they still produce important digestive juices that are emptied into the small intestine and help with digestion.

Most people who have gastric bypass experience a significant reduction in excess weight within the first 18 months after surgery.
