Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Information

Dr. Wade Barker explains laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery at his Dallas/Ft. Worth bariatric surgery center.

Gastric bypass surgery helps patients lose weight because it greatly restricts the amount of food they can eat and limits absorption of some calories. During Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, Dallas/Ft. Worth surgeon Wade Barker, M.D., uses staples to create a small pouch at the top of the stomach. He then connects this pouch to the lower part of the small intestine.
