Weight Loss (Bariatric) Surgery

Gastric Bypass Surgery

Gastric bypass surgery is a surgical procedure in which the stomach is made smaller by stapling it and dividing it into two compartments. The smallest compartment is called a bag. Most of the stomach is bypassed, which means that food surrounds it, rather than through it.

Gastric Sleeve (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy)

In this surgery, your surgeon will staple and divide your stomach, removing about 80-85 percent of the stomach. You will only have 15-20 percent of your stomach left, so you will not be able to eat as much food in one sitting as you used to.
