A gastric bypass surgery divides your stomach into two parts- a large lower pouch and a small upper pouch. In this process the small intestine gets rearranged so that it is connected to both the pouches. People who are extremely overweight are the ones who usually qualify for this surgery. This surgery helps you to lose weight by changing the dimensions of the stomach and how it will take in all the food you eat. This procedure also requires the small intestine to work in a different way than it did previously. Once the surgery is done you'll feel full with less food. This is because your stomach will reduce in size and the intestine will absorb all the food that doesn't get to some parts of your stomach. The rearranged intestines however, prevent the body from absorbing a good amount of minerals.

Facts about gastric bypass surgery:

1.You will lose more than 65% of your weight in more than a year.

2.If you are diabetic, have hypertension orsleep apnea, it will slowly get cured.

3.Your personal relationships with people might undergo a change. No scientific research has been done to prove this, although patients who have gone through this surgery report that they feel more positive and confident than they did before.

4.It will affect how you eat. You will be eating smaller portions than you did before and you have to take supplements till you're alive. It can sound tedious and scary at first but you will eventually get used to it.
