Maisie lost 16st with Gastric Bypass surgery

What is a Gastric Bypass?

First performed in 1967, the gastric bypass has stood the test of time and is still the most reliable procedure, for maximal weight loss. A gastric bypass works by creating a narrow pouch from the upper stomach, which is then connected to your small bowel that has been reconfigured into a Y-shape, using a second join.

There are several variations of bypass, for example, you may have heard about the mini Gastric or loop Bypass. Unlike the traditional Gastric bypass, that has two joining points between the stomach and the bowels a mini (single anastomosis) Gastric Bypass the pouch is joined directly to a loop of small intestine.

How does a Gastric Bypass work?

After a Gastric bypass it is difficult to eat quickly or eat too much, reducing portion sizes and requiring you to eat more slowly. There is an additional hormonal effect, that makes you feel less hungry and less interested in food.
