Houston Gastric Bypass Surgery
Many men and women choose gastric bypass surgery in Houston for its safety and fewer complications. Gastric bypass surgery offers long-term weight loss results and changes in lifestyle. In this procedure, the Houston bariatric surgeons seal the stomach and create a small pouch. The pouch is then separated from the stomach and attached to the small intestine. This is done to allow food to bypass the first section of your small intestine, which limits calorie absorption.
About Houston Gastric Bypass Surgery
In Houston, gastric bypass surgery reduces the size of your stomach pouch to the size of a walnut or small egg. Food will bypass portions of your small intestine, which means the foods you eat will be limited and you will be required to follow a diet. With the help of your surgeon and a registered dietician, you will learn about which foods to consume or to avoid, in order to achieve long-term weight loss success.
