Why is Gastric Bypass Surgery Successful?

Gastric Bypass surgery is a successful treatment for weight loss and is the recommended surgical solution to obesity. 

Gastric bypass is an effective weight loss surgery because the procedure combines both restrictive and malabsorptive elements of bariatric surgery.

The restrictive method limits the amount of food that can be eaten and the malabsorptive method limits the amount of calories the body absorbs from food. 

After Gastric Bypass Roux-en Y surgery the stomach is smaller, meaning you eat less and the intestine is shorter, limiting the amount of calories your body absorbs from food.
