Can any doc tell me what's it like going through gastric bypass surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gastric bypass: The the bypass is the gold standard for weight loss operations. It's been around for over 50 yrs and is a proven operation. It is the best in terms of overall weight loss. It is a safe operation but should only be done by an experienced gastric bypass surgeon. Surgery takes 60-90 minutes. Back to work in 2 weeks. Transition from liquids to solid food over 5 week period. Very effective.
