The small bowel is now divided and one of the divided end is joined to upper pouch. The other end is joined back to the intestine about 100cm down the stomach.
Restriction: By creating a smaller stomach pouch that is designed to hold only a cup of food, you will be restricted in terms of how much you are able to eat.
Malabsorption: Because the food enters directly into lower part of small bowel and it doesn’t travel the part of intestine where fat is absorbed, it further augments the weight loss. Because much of the food is not processed and broken down, it helps to maintain weight loss permanently.
