Gastric bypass

• The bypass is the second technique, it is an irreversible operation consisting of reducing the size of the stomach and thus create a bypass system of the digestive tract that will absorb a small amount of nutrients, the other foods consumed are found in the stool.

Gastric Sleeve

• And finally the third technique, sleeve-gastrectomy. This is a new but irreversible practice, however less aggressive than bypass surgery. It is performed by laparoscopy, without even opening the abdomen. This procedure is done in frail people.
