Bariatric Surgery Resources

See the resources below for information about gastric reduction surgery. Although bariatric operations like gastric bypass (billiopancreatic diversion, dudenal switch, fobi pouch) and gastric banding (lap-band) can be very effective in treating obesity, no operation can guarantee to achieve permanent weight loss unless patients follow the post-operative diet and exercise guidelines. The typical diet after stomach bypass is extremely restrictive for about 8 weeks, and patients typically need to take nutritional supplements for life.
