Gastric Bypass is a surgical procedure to reduce the size of stomach by bypassing food from duodenum (first part of small intestine) to jejunum (second part of small intestine) so that the food we eat has a shorter time to travel inside the small intestine and therefore less food is absorbed. This procedure is done for severely obese people and they can expect to lose 65 to 80 percent of their body weight. Infection, Haemorrhage (bleeding) and hernia are some of the complications that could develop after or during the surgery.
