Gastric bypass surgery is one of the surgical procedures known as bariatric procedures.  This is a group of surgeries which aim at making changes to the digestive system in order to help people lose weight in a fast and safe manner.  Usually, this will mean reducing the size of the stomach and/or the small intestine.

So, what is exactly entailed in gastric bypass? There are a few types of gastric bypass surgeries. The most common one is known as the roux-en-y gastric bypass. This involves the stapling part of the upper stomach in order to form a small pouch. This pouch is usually about the size of a thumb or walnut. Part of the small intestine is then reshaped (into a ‘Y’ shape) and attached to this small pouch.

There are other types of gastric bypass operations that involve some more invasive steps but these are usually only used with exceptionally obese patients.

Usually, the surgery of gastric bypass is performed laparoscopically. This means that small incisions are made in the abdomen and the operation is performed using a laparoscope – a rod with a tiny video camera and light at the end of it.
