Gastric bypass - through it the stomach is "bypassed" when food enters the digestive system. It avoids the absorption of calories from part of the small intestine and provides direct access of food to the stomach enzymes to quickly break it down.
It is important to have a consultation with the metabolic surgery specialist who will assess your general condition. It is necessary, before undertaking surgery, to have already established a balanced diet, with reduced calories and eliminated unhealthy eating habits. No alcohol or smoking! It is a good idea to reduce your fat intake to maximally cleanse the fatty internal organs and in particular the liver. According to your general condition, co-morbidities and required result, the specialist will determine which method is best for you.
Let us emphasize that the development of these complications depends entirely on personal care after surgery. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations regarding diet and gastric hygiene.
