Clinical inquiries. How effective is gastric bypass for weight loss?

Year: 2004

Type: article

Abstract: Gastric bypass results in weight loss of approximately 33% at 2 years and 25% at 8 years (strength of recommendation [SOR]: B, based on a cohort study). Gastric bypass is one type of bariatric surgery, which also includes gastroplasty and gastric banding procedures. These procedures all can produce enough weight loss to measurably improve health, but they differ in the amount of long-term weight loss, as well as side effects, which can be serious.
