Gastric Bypass

The gastric bypass is an operation which has stood the test of time. It is the most widely performed bariatric procedure in the USA.

It is available as a keyhole procedure with Gravitas. The Bypass has two different ways of encouraging weight loss – small portions and reduced calorie absorption. Portion size is controlled with the creation of a small pouch of stomach at the bottom end of the gullet. Stretching of this pouch makes you feel full, even though you haven't eaten much.

With two different ways of producing weight loss, the gastric bypass is usually a more effective operation than gastric banding. Weight loss is also more rapid and will generally be complete within a year.
