Gastric bypass

Gastric Bypass consists of dividing the stomach in such a way that food passes from the esophagus into a very small fragment of the upper part of the stomach, called the gastric reservoir. Subsequently, a bridge is created from the small intestine to the new stomach, so that fewer calories will be assimilated, favoring weight loss.
