Why is gastric bypass surgery an effective way to assist an obese person in losing weight?
What will be an ideal response?
Gastric stapling is one of the methods of last resort in assisting an extremely obese person to lose weight. The
process involves closing off a part of the gastric lumen, leaving only a small portion in contact with the esophagus and the duodenum. This small pouch triggers the brain to send "full" signals to the person sooner than would otherwise occur, thus reducing the volume of food eaten, assisting the person to lose weight.
