For those who are obese, with a body mass index of forty or higher, you may have tried to diet and exercise to lose the excess weight, but have found little success. There are other alternatives to weight loss, and one of those is a procedure known as the gastric bypass. California residents have a local expert in Dr. Bobby Bhasker Rao and his team at Lite Life Surgery in Palm Springs, California. Dr. Rao and his staff are happy to help you learn more about your options for weight loss, including gastric bypass surgery.

For those looking for a maximum weight loss result, the gastric bypass might be appropriate. The amount of calories that your body will be able to take in after this type of surgery is reduced, because the size of the stomach is reduced to a small stomach pouch. This new pouch is attached to the small intestine, bypassing the lower stomach, the duodenum and part of the jejunum intestinal structure. With the reduction in the nutrients that your body can absorb comes rapid weight loss, with the greatest weight loss seen in the first two years after the surgery.

Dr. Rao offers laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery to his patients, because it comes with several important benefits. These include minimal surgical risks, limited bleeding, a reduction in recovery times, as well as smaller post-surgical scarring.

It is important to point out several important aspects that patients will live with after having received a gastric bypass. California patients will typically need to take nutritional and mineral supplements for life after having this form of bariatric surgery. The surgical procedure is permanent, and requires a longer recovery time than other types of weight loss surgery. It sometimes also results in minor weight gain years after the surgery has been performed.
