Not everyone is a suitable candidate for gastric bypass surgery and in fact, if you were to find a not-so-ethical Doctor to perform the surgery when you didn't comply with the guidelines laid down by your country's health organization, it could in fact be very harmful to your health long term.
Gastric bypass surgery is not an easy way to lose weight and anyone considering having this type of surgery simply as an easy way to lose weight had better start to really do some proper homework on the subject. So if you are reading this it means that you probably are in the process of doing your 'due diligence' checking now and I applaud you for that.
There is set criteria for each country that most registered Bariatric surgeons in that country comply with. This criteria takes into account the overall population statistics, health guidelines as set out by their national Government Health Organization, medical insurance companies and a number of other criteria specific and individual to each country so you will need to check with your local General Practitioner Doctor as they will be the best source of information to see if you are a suitable candidate for gastric bypass surgery.
Many GP's still do not know a great deal about the advancements made in bariatric surgery over the last twenty years; so if you begin to think that you are not getting up-to-the-minute information just ask for a referral to a bariatric surgeon for an evaluation. Gastric bypass does not have to include a stomach stapling or an actual surgical bypass anymore because there have been new techniques invented that do the same job with fewer side effects and better long term outcomes.
So if you would like to know more about life after one of these outcomes and how life altering a successful procedure can be, I suggest you continue on with your due diligence research into gastric bypass surgery.
