Gastric Bypass Surgery
The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is categorized as a combined type of surgical weight loss, in terms of restrictive and malabsorptive. The operation is restrictive where the stomach is cut and divided, thereby making a smaller stomach that limits the amount of food you eat before you feel full. And it is malabsorptive in the fact that the first part of the small intestine is bypassed, so the food you eat does not see this part of the intestine.
