The most common Obesity surgery is what is known as Gastric bypass surgery. This is also known as stomach stapling which is reducing the size of the stomach by stapling off a portion. Other variant procedures are Gastric Bypass, Biliopancreatic Diversion BPD, Laparoscopic Adjustable Gastric Banding and Tube Gastrectomy (Sleeve Gastrectomy). Another available option is the sleeve gastrectomy New Jersey procedure.

Unlike Gastric Bypass, Sleeve Gastrectomy doesn't involve cutting and rerouting of the intestines. Instead, the operation removes the "Greater Curvature" or the left side of the stomach. This operation allows weight loss through two mechanisms. First: it decreases the size of the stomach hence allowing its owner to easily achieve the sensation of fullness. Second: it works by removing the fundus of the stomach which produces the hormone Ghrelin.

More important than all the above is the requirement that people taking to surgical treatments need to be monitored for complications for life and they have to make adjustments to their lifestyle adjustments all through the rest of their lives.

The procedure is performed on people who have undergone a gastric surgery and regained weight. Sometimes, this is also done in the form of an open surgery.

Following the laparoscopic surgery, many patients are able to recover in a fraction of the time. Depending on their general health condition, some patients return to work in less than two weeks and many are able to quickly return to physical activity.

This bariatric surgery changes the normal digestive process causing fewer calories and nutrients entering the body. Gastric bypass surgery will require a permanent change in eating and how patients actually views food. Nutritional counseling is also a strong recommendation for new gastric bypass patients before and after surgery.

During the procedure, a stretched gastric pouch is tightened using fasteners. This is also performed on patients who have had a roux-en-Y bypass surgery before but not completely recovered. People with stretched stomach pouch also undergo this surgery to tighten their gastric pouch.

Malabsorption is a side effect of the operation that limits the body's absorption of specific nutrients, which consequently facilitates weight loss. Dumping Syndrome refers to Gastric Bypass patients' adverse reaction to all sorts of sweets. Such reactions discourage them from indulging in sweet and sinful treats that are known fat inducers. Lastly, Gastric Bypass reduces the hormone Ghrelin which is responsible for the sensation of hunger, therefore making a person less inclined to eating.
