What happens when you have a gastric bypass?
Description

 

Gastric bypass is a metabolic and weight-loss procedure. It is also known as "Roux-en-Y." The procedure modifies the digestive system so that it consumes and absorbs fewer calories. It modifies the stomach and small intestine.

First, it reduces the functional part of the stomach to a small pouch, separating it from the rest with surgical stitches. This reduces the amount of food the stomach can hold. Then, it connects the new gastric pouch to a lower segment of the small intestine.

This means that when food passes through the digestive system, it bypasses most of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine. Because of this bypass, the digestive system does not absorb all the nutrients (or calories) present in food.
