Gastric bypass is one of the most established forms of bariatric surgery for people who have struggled to lose weight through diet, exercise, or medication alone.

At Brooklyn Queens Surgical, patients receive individualized guidance to help them understand whether this procedure is the right fit for their health goals.

Bariatric surgery can lead to significant weight loss, but the amount varies from person to person. Results depend on the type of procedure, your starting weight, your eating habits, activity level, and how closely you follow post-operative care. In general, most patients lose a meaningful amount of excess weight during the first 12 to 24 months after surgery.
