| Gastric Bypass |
|
Gastric bypass surgery helps people to reduce weight. People will have a changed stomach. Now the intestine will not be able to handle more food, and also not be able to absorb more calories from the food. Thus, even with lesser quality of food, patients will feel more satisfied. In this process, there is a creation of a pouch in stomach that restricts the intake of food and also involves constructing a bypass of duodenum as well as small intestine’s other segments. This accounts for a decreased ability of a person to absorb the food. This decreased ability is known as malabsorption. There is a special gastric dies and various significant minerals and vitamins are provided as supplements. |
