	Gastric Bypass - Alvarado Bariatric Surgeons
		Although its effects may not be as profound as the gastric bypass, the risk of the procedure appears to be less, and the recovery time is the shortest.
		Surgical mortality of less than 1% is usually considered to be very acceptable for major surgery, even in normal weighted persons.
		After the gastric bypass (not after the gastric banding), a condition called "dumping syndrome" may occur, when sugar is taken on an empty stomach, passes rapidly through the stomach into the intestine, and draws a large amount of fluid into the bowel.

	[ Pheochromocytoma and aortocoronary bypass. Double surgical procedure]. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Double surgical procedure].Chest pain and electrocardiographic changes are often attributed to functional ischaemia but the high incidence of organic coronary artery disease in the series analysed confirms the need for coronary angiography in doubtful cases.
		It is reasonable to start by removing the pheochromocytoma and, only then, consider coronary angiography with a view to coronary bypass surgery: the risks of a hypertensive crisis seem to be reduced when this protocol is followed.
		Based on a personal case of a 47 year old woman with an adrenal medullary pheochromocytoma and stenosis of the left anterior descending artery treated by aorto-coronary bypass grafting after ablation of the pheochromocytoma, the authors illustrate the frequency and precocity of organic coronary artery disease in 27 cases in the literature.

	Surgical bypass method - Patent 5425765
		The bypass graft is useful for vascular bypass operations, for example, in bypass an aneurysm in the aorta.
		An endovascular bypass graft comprises, in accordance with the present invention, a tubular member, a first expandable mesh stent attached to one end of the tubular member, and a second expandable mesh stent attached to an opposite end of the tubular member.
		Prior to an aortic bypass operation utilizing graft 10, the patient is subjected to a CAT scan to determine the exact angular locations and relative longitudinal positions of the vascular junctions of aorta AO with tributary arteries RA1, RA2, SMA, and CA.

		Another condition that is well managed by having a vascular surgical procedure is an anuerysm of a major internal artery, such as the aorta, or anuerysm of an extremity such as thise that occur behind the knee.
		Bypass -- involves use of a vein or a synthetic graft to bypass an area of narrowing or blockage, or to replace the weakened walls of an aneurysm.
		It is called an aortic aneurysmectomy and bypass, and it is performed to repair the aneurysm and divert the blood across the weak part of the aorta before it becomes problematic.

	Gastric bypass
		In a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the stomach is made smaller by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach using surgical staples or a plastic band.
		The smaller stomach is connected directly to the middle portion of the small intestine (jejunum), bypassing the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine (duodenum).
		In a gastric bypass, the part of the intestine where many minerals and vitamins are most easily absorbed is bypassed.

	New Surgical Bypass Technique Offers Longer-Lasting Bypasses (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Coronary bypass is a common surgery, performed every year on some 400,000 patients whose arteries are blocked or hardened by disease and therefore are unable to adequately deliver blood to the heart.
		The first bypasses, conducted in the 1960s, used a vein, usually taken from the leg, as the conduit.
		The surgical technique is controversial, says Barner, because some surgeons have been concerned that the T-graft may not provide enough blood flow to the heart muscle.

	Rationale for the Surgical Treatment of Morbid Obesity
		Surgical treatment is medically necessary because it is the only proven method of achieving long term weight control for the morbidly obese.
		Therefore, the option of surgical treatment is a rational one supported by the time honored principle that diseases which harm call for therapeutic intervention that, while vigorous, is less harmful than the disease being treated.
		Studies conducted after surgical treatment and weight loss have shown 1) that self esteem and positive emotions increase; 2) that body image disparagement decreases; 3) that marital satisfaction increases, but only if a measure of satisfaction existed before surgery; and 4) that eating behavior is improved dramatically.

	GASTRIC BYPASS - Best information on obesity surgery, insurance, costs and risks
		Statistical data associated with this gastric bypass surgical procedure include: failure to lose weight (about 10%), some complication of surgery (10% - 15%), serious, life-threatening complication (about 2% - 3%), and even death (less than 1%).
		Since gastric bypass surgical procedures result in some loss of absorptive function, the long-term consequences of potential nutrient deficiencies must be recognized and adequate monitoring must be performed, particularly with regard to vitamin B12, folate, and iron.
		Recommendation: Gastric bypass surgery is an option for carefully selected patients with clinically severe obesity (BMI 40 or 35 with comorbid conditions) when less invasive methods of weight loss have failed and the patient is at high risk for obesity-associated morbidity or mortality.

	ThinnerTimes: Gastric Bypass Surgery for Morbid Obesity
		We approach clinically severe obesity as a genetically based condition, that is amplified by a variety of social, psychological, and environmental factors.
		Gastric bypass surgery reduces the size of the stomach and allows food to pass quickly into the small intestine.
		The gastric bypass surgery thereby offers a tool, that when combined with behavior modification, psychological adjustment, and reasonable exercise, can result in much more significant and lasting reduction in both weight and weight related illnesses.

	From the Cleveland Clinic: Weight Loss Surgery: Gastric Bypass Operations
		Gastric bypass operations combine the creation of a small stomach pouch to restrict food intake and construction of bypasses of the duodenum and other segments of the small intestine to cause malabsorption (decreased ability to absorb nutrients from food).
		Next, a Y-shaped section of the small intestine is attached to the pouch to allow food to bypass the duodenum as well as the first portion of the jejunum.
		Gastric bypass operations that cause malabsorption and restrict food intake produce more weight loss than restriction operations, which only decrease food intake.
