Gastric bypass is a surgical procedure that reduces the size of a patient's stomach. Gastric bypass surgery is used to treat severe morbid obesity.
The goal of gastric bypass surgery is to change a patient's physical and psychological eating habits; by reducing the size of the stomach, patients must eat less, and they must eat healthier foods to compensate for the reduced portions.
There are several surgical techniques for gastric bypass surgery, including "Roux-en-Y" (RNY) and loop gastric bypass.
