Considering Obesity Surgery in Brazil? Questions to ask!

Obesity surgery refers to surgery performed on the stomach and/or intestines to decrease the amount of food that can be consumed and absorbed, as a result, to help a obese person to lose weight.

Gastric bypass is a permanent reduction in the size of the stomach in which a small pouch is created from the proximal portion of the stomach and attached to the intestine in a location that bypasses about 2 feet of normal intestine.

To help you decide if gastric bypass obesity surgery might be of benefit for you we will help with some daily questions.

Question 1 will be posted tomorrow.
