The following information is about Gastric Bypass.

Gastric Bypass Defined

A weight-loss procedure performed by bariatric or general surgeons that utilizes stapling, suturing and other surgical techniques to create a very small stomach pouch, severely restricting the amount of food that can be consumed at one time. The rest of the stomach is bypassed and therefore no longer receives food.

This definition is in context to Surgery. See more contextual defintions for Gastric Bypass.
