- 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.
