After gastric bypass, swallowed food goes into this small stomach pouch and then directly into the small intestine, thus bypassing most of your stomach and the first part of your small intestine. Gastric bypass is one of the most common types of bariatric surgery. Gastric bypass is performed when diet and exercise have not worked or when you have serious health problems due to your weight.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

You may need to meet certain medical guidelines to qualify for weight loss surgery. You will likely go through an extensive screening process to see if you qualify. You must also be willing to make permanent changes to live a healthy lifestyle. You may be asked to participate in long-term follow-up programs that include monitoring of your diet, lifestyle and behavior, and medical conditions.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f4337d3 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"f4337d3\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d8fcc14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d8fcc14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What you can expect <\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-721a56d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"721a56d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Gastric bypass surgery is performed in the hospital.

Anesthesia is a medicine that keeps you asleep and comfortable during surgery. The specifics of your gastric bypass will depend on your individual condition and your doctor&#8217;s actions. Some surgeries are performed through traditional large (open) incisions in your abdomen. However, most are performed laparoscopically, which involves inserting instruments through several small incisions in the abdomen. After making open or laparoscopic incisions, the surgeon will cut the top of your stomach and close it off from the rest of your stomach. The resulting pouch is about the size of a walnut and holds only about an ounce of food. Normally, your stomach can hold about 3 cups of food. The surgeon then cuts the small intestine and sews part of it directly onto the pouch. The food then goes into this small pouch in the stomach and then directly into the small intestine where it is sewn to. Most of the food bypasses your stomach and the first part of the small intestine and instead goes straight into the middle part of the small intestine. Surgery usually takes a few hours. After surgery, you will wake up in the recovery room, where the medical staff will monitor you for any complications.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1972\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1972\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><svg class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-right\" viewBox=\"0 0 192 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M0 384.662V127.338c0-17.818 21.543-26.741 34.142-14.142l128.662 128.662c7.81 7.81 7.81 20.474 0 28.284L34.142 398.804C21.543 411.404 0 402.48 0 384.662z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><svg class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened e-font-icon-svg e-fas-caret-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 320 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M288.662 352H31.338c-17.818 0-26.741-21.543-14.142-34.142l128.662-128.662c7.81-7.81 20.474-7.81 28.284 0l128.662 128.662c12.6 12.599 3.676 34.142-14.142 34.142z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">After surgery<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1972\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1972\"><p>Immediately after gastric bypass surgery, you may have liquids but no solid food as your stomach and intestines begin to heal.
