Gastric bypass, reduces both stomach volume and the amount of eaten food and also reduces the amount of absorption of eaten food. Bypass surgery, can be performed in two classic and mini-bypass methods.
In classic method that is accompanied with two simultaneous surgeries on patient, at first, stomach is divided into two unequal parts through steaming, and then in second surgery, intestine is connected to smaller stomach. Smaller part of stomach is 5 to 15 percent of whole volume of stomach. That is, now, your stomach volume for eating has fallen by 5 to 15 percent and bigger part of stomach continues to secrete necessary enzymes. This surgery is performed under general anesthesia and takes between 2 to 3 hours and after surgery, patient must be in hospital for 3 to 5 nights, and time of starting work varies between 2 to 4 weeks depending on general health status of patient.

In mini-bypass, removing and cutting small intestine isn’t performed and just upper part of stomach will be removed by stapler, and stomach will be made small. This method is more novel than classic method, and patient will be hospitalized two nights and after one week of rest at home, he/she will return to previous style./ Gastric bypass in iran
