  • Gastric Bypass Surgery

One of the most common types of bariatric surgery, the gastric bypass procedure works by decreasing the amount of food you can consume in one sitting, while also reducing the nutrients your body absorbs.

  • Gastric Sleeve Surgery

Gastric sleeve surgery removes about 80 percent of the stomach, leaving a long tube-like pouch. After gastric sleeve surgery, your stomach will only be able to hold about one cup of food.
