Gastric bypass surgery
Basically we take your stomach from the size of football and cut it down to the size of a golf ball. Then we take your small intestine and re-route them so we literally 'bypass' your stomach and duodenum. Expected weight loss is about 70-80% excess weight loss. Also had advantage of excellent resolution of diabetes and high blood pressure.
