When we hear all the success stories of the gastric bypass, it
sounds so easy. One pricey operation and the pounds just fly off!
Right? Not quite. Gastric bypass surgery is only advised to those
who are morbidly obese – this is someone with a body mass index
greater then 40 and men and women between 80-100 pounds their ideal
body weight.
The gastric bypass is also sometimes recommended to patients
suffering obesity along with other conditions such as heart disease
or type 2 diabetes. If the surgeon is happy the health benefits
outweigh the possible side effects of gastric bypass surgery then it
maybe recommended.
