Gastric Bypass surgery is one of the most performed obesity surgeries in the world. In the surgery, a large part of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine are removed, and most of the nutrients are bypassed (bypassing) the stomach and small intestine, allowing them to pass into the small intestine. In the part of the small intestine that is removed with the stomach, some nutrients and calories are normally absorbed. Since this part is removed, the absorption of these calories does not occur, which contributes to weight loss. Weight loss occurs gradually with gastric bypass surgery, which is one of the most effective methods in the treatment of morbid obesity. It may take 1 and a half to 2 years for maximum weight loss.
