HOW WEIGHT LOSS SURGERY WORKS

How Does Obesity Surgery Help Me Lose Weight?

The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery helps you lose weight in three ways.

1. You eat less: The new small stomach pouch means you feel full after eating just a small amount of food.

2. Your food appetites change. After surgery, your body will not easily tolerate foods that are high in sugars and fats. You'll find these foods may make you physically uncomfortable. With this built-in control, called the dumping syndrome, you naturally avoid these foods. Other surgical procedures don't provide this important benefit of behavior modification.

3. You absorb less. Food now bypasses part of your digestive system, which reduces the amount of calories your body absorbs.

The reduced stomach pouch size, change in eating habits, and reduced absorption allow people to successfully lose weight and keep it off long-term.
