What is Laparoscopic gastric bypass?

Laparoscopic gastric bypass is a weight-loss surgery. This procedure divides a small part of your stomach off to limit the amount of food you can eat.

One anastomosis gastric bypass is an advanced procedure that uses techniques of both gastric sleeve surgery and traditional gastric bypass to create an effective path to sustained weight loss.

Do I qualify for Laparoscopic gastric bypass?

To qualify for any weight-loss surgery, you must meet some basic qualifications including:

Body mass index (BMI) of over 40
BMI over 35, with obesity-related conditions like high blood pressure or Type 2 diabetes
Age 18 or older
Good general health, apart from obesity-related conditions

Of course, the biggest factor of all is commitment. To achieve success with gastric bypass or any type of weight-loss surgery, you have to commit to a lasting lifestyle change. The changes in diet and exercise are worth it — many people greatly improve their health and even work with their doctors to reduce or discontinue unnecessary medications.

If you need to lose weight but your BMI disqualifies you from gastric bypass or other surgery, a nonsurgical procedure, endoscopic sleeve gastroplasty, can limit your food intake and produce good results.
