What is gastric bypass surgery?
Your upper intestine is disconnected from your stomach and a new smaller stomach is created and attached to your lower intestine.

Not quite. There are many kinds, but they all end up with a smaller stomach - still connected to the small intestine (not lower intestine, that would really hurt).

There is an insanely high divorce rate after the surgery. The last time I looked it was in the 90% + range. It proved to be very correct. My first wife had this procedure done. She went down to around 165 pounds from 310 or so. Then BOOM..... Divorce...

 

Good Luck with the surgery. I hope you get what you want out of it. Having your stomach stapled down to an ounce pouch is indeed a big event. Then there is the possible plastic surgery to remove the excess skin after the weight loss. Good Luck. Best of Health to you.

Yeesh. Do you suppose he "rejects his own insurance"?*

 

 

 

*Uncontrolled innuendo. I have no idea what that means.
