About Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric Bypass Surgery (GBP) is a blanket term for any number of surgeries that divide the stomach in to a smaller upper pouch and a lower remnant pouch, and then rearranges the small intestine to connect both pouches. The operation is prescribed to treat morbid obesity, type 2 diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea. The surgeries typically result in dramatic weight loss and reduces co-morbidities. The long-term mortality rate of GPB patients has been shown to be reduced by up to 40 percent.
