Bariatric Gastric Bypass | Weight Loss Surgery | Gastric Bypass Surgery

Being overweight, you should understand why gastric bypass works for long term weight loss while dieting doesn’t. It is not a diet. Gastric bypass does something that dieting never has done. It makes a person feel full after eating just a small amount of food. Actually, it physically makes it impossible to eat a lot of food plus you are no longer hungry. On diets you starve and feel so hungry and you try to be good, but it only lasts a short time and you give in eventually to the hunger.

With the gastric bypass, you are satisfied and feel full after eating just a small amount and don’t have that hungry starving feeling like you have with dieting. That means you eat a lot less without being hungry and that is why it works long term. Yes, your food intake and diet are restrictive to a point, but you don’t care because you don’t want the extra food you used to want because you are full. My husband had the surgery done and he eats just about everything he ate before except it is in much smaller portions. He was a very big eater and he doesn’t mind at all eating a lot less. It doesn’t bother him. If he was on a regular diet trying to lose weight, he wouldn’t last more than a few weeks at best before giving in to his hunger. He thinks it is just great not being hungry all the time like before. So far he has lost 95 lbs. and still counting. He’s doing great.
