What is a Gastric Bypass?
When a person undergoes un a gastric bypass surgery, a small stomach pouch is created. The remaining portion of the intestine is divided 100cm from its origin and then it is stapled together, forming a "roux-en-Y" shaped pathway for food to pass directly into the system, bypassing the need for calories expenditure during digestion or absorption. In addition to reducing food intake and calories absorption, the creation of the gastric pouch also leads to a reduction of over 95% in the production of ghrelin, one of the primary hunger hormones.
