Gastric bypass?

What exacly is this surgery? How is the procedure? What is the minimun age that someone can do this surgery? If I am 60lb over weight should I do this surgery? Please some one help me answer all this question or atleast most of them please well thankyou.

The most popular gastric bypass surgery is called Roue en-Y. It involves stapling your stomach to make a smaller pouch and then rewiring your intestines so there is less used for digesting food. This is done by a surgeon, and takes a lot of commitment. There are many requirements you must fulfill before you can get approval for the surgery. I don't believe there is a minimum age but usually doctors won't perform the surgery if you are over 65. I had the surgery 10 weeks ago and my brother had it 5 years ago. If you want to know more, see your general doctor and then come to our Yahoo Group called Weight Loss Surgery Friends & Support. Good Luck.

All these questions should be answered by a trained surgeon go and see you doctor and ask him/her if they cant answer they will find out for you.

I dont think a surgeon will perform this procedure on anyone less than 100 pounds overweight

Visit www.obesityhelp.com it explains all types of weight loss surgery's. I highly doubt you would qualify for any of those surgeries since you are not 100 lbs. overweight. You can check your bmi there too. Usually (not always) you need a bmi of 40 or higher.
