Gastric Bypass
The gastric bypass helps you lose weight by creating a smaller stomach pouch and rerouting the path that food normally takes so you feel full faster and eat less.
Gastric Sleeve
The sleeve gastrectomy helps you lose weight by reducing the size of your stomach so you eat less and feel full faster.
