For morbidly obese patients who have tried but failed all conservative methods and measures, including diet and exercise, to control their weight, gastric bypass surgery is a viable alternative. The more important the decision to have an operation to solve the weight problem, the more important is the type of surgery and the technique to be applied.

For over 50 years, many types of surgeries have been found for the treatment of obesity and these surgeries have been performed with different techniques. Gastric bypass surgery is an effective, safe and sustainable procedure and has been defined as a gold standard procedure by IFSO (International Federation for the Surgery of Obesity and Metabolic Diseases), ASMBS (American Society of Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery) and NIH (National Institutes of Health).
