Gastric bypass and other bariatric surgeries are proved to be long-term weight loss. The weight you lose depends on the type of surgery and change in your lifestyle habits. It may happen that you lose half, or even more, of your excess weight within a suggested time period from bariatric surgeries.
Gastric bypass surgery may improve the conditions related to being overweight, including:
- ● – Heart disease
- ● – High blood pressure
- ● – Sleep apnea
- ● – Type-2 diabetes
- ● – Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD or NASH)
- ● – Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)

Gastric bypass surgery can also help you to improve your routine activities, which results in quality of life.
