http://www.nucleushealth.com/ This 3D medical animation demonstrates techniques used in bariatric surgery (weight reduction surgery) for obesity, including stomach staple. Bariatric surgery is performed if weight loss efforts through lifestyle changes and medications have been unsuccessful and your body mass index, or BMI, is above 40 or above 35 and you have life-threatening condition, such as heart disease or diabetes. There are two types of bariatric surgeries; restrictive and malabsorptive. Gastric bypass or Roux-en-Y is both a restrictive and malabsorptive procedure, while LAP BAND techniques are restrictive procedures and biopancreatic diversion procedure is a malabsorptive procedure.

Gastric Bypass Surgery is demonstrated by Dr. Brett Cohen of the Memorial Weight-Loss Surgery Program.

During gastric bypass, a small pouch is cut out of the stomach, and the small intestine is rerouted to this pouch.

This tends to be a quicker, more aggressive weight-loss option.

Unlike the Lap Band, it is neither adjustable, nor reversible.

This type of surgery typically involves a about a two-night hospital stay.

Although most of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine no longer have food traveling through them, they still produce important digestive juices that are emptied into the small intestine and help with digestion.

Most people who have gastric bypass experience a significant reduction in excess weight within the first 18 months after surgery.
