This type of surgery is a stapling procedure in which 80% of the stomach is removed surgically. This results in a pouch that is approximately 100 cc in volume. Working along with the same principles as the other restrictive procedures, limiting the amount of food intake leads to an earlier feeling of satiety.
Additionally, the portion of the stomach that is removed, holds the majority of cells in the body that produce the hormone called Ghrelin that is associated with hunger.
This procedure leads to approximately 70-80% of excess weight loss in 12-18 months.
Gastric bypass surgery is considered a gold standard procedure for weight loss. Highly recommended especially for those who have diabetes.

Then the food goes into this small pouch of stomach and then directly into the small intestine attached to it.
Duration of the procedure = 60-90 minutes
Success rate = 95
Length of stay in hospital = 3-4 days
