	Mayo Clinic: Bypass Surgery Details
		Patients who are good candidates for bypass surgery meet with members of the specialized team who will assist in their care.
		Most people who have bypass surgery are able to resume normal activities, and over 90 percent have a substantial lessening of angina.
		Surgery can improve symptoms and even prolong life when the left main coronary artery or multiple vessels are bypassed, but it doesn't get rid of the disease.

	Coronary artery bypass surgery - CNN.com
		Coronary bypass surgery uses a healthy blood vessel harvested from your leg, arm, chest or abdomen and connects it to the other arteries in your heart so that blood is bypassed around the diseased or blocked area.
		Another risk of coronary bypass surgery is that plaques — the fatty deposits that accumulate on the inner walls of coronary arteries and other vessels in atherosclerosis — may break loose from the walls of the aorta when it's clamped shut for the heart-lung machine.

	Bypass Surgery
		Unlike conventional surgery, which has a 10"-12" incision and places the patient on the heart-lung machine, new minimally invasive approaches may avoid placing the patient on a heart-lung machine, and can be performed through a 3"-5" incision placed between the ribs, or may be done with several small incisions.
		Minimally invasive bypass surgery is believed to have the same beneficial results as conventional bypass surgery--restoring adequate blood flow and normal delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the heart.
		One of the greatest challenges in minimally invasive bypass surgery is the difficulty of suturing or "sewing" on a beating heart.

		Gastrointestinal surgery is an option for people who are severely obese and cannot lose weight by traditional means or who suffer from serious obesity-related health problems.
		Next, a Y-shaped section of the small intestine is attached to the pouch to allow food to bypass the lower stomach, the duodenum (the first segment of the small intestine), and the first portion of the jejunum (the second segment of the small intestine).
		The risk of death associated with these types of procedures is lower for the gastric bypass (less than 1 percent of patients) than for the biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (2.5 to 5 percent).

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Heart bypass surgery
		Heart bypass surgery creates a detour or "bypass" around the blocked part of a coronary artery to restore the blood supply to the heart muscle.
		In the traditional surgery, the patient is connected to the heart-lung machine, or bypass pump, which adds oxygen to the blood and circulates blood to other parts of the body during the surgery.
		Coronary bypass surgery can now be performed with the aid of a robot, which allows the surgeon to perform the operation without even being in the same room as the patient.

		Newer techniques are resulting in safer bypass surgery, a shorter recovery period, and an increased age at which the procedure can be safely performed.
		Bypass surgery is the most commonly performed "open heart" operation in the United States.
		The goal of bypass surgery is not to repair or remove blocked coronary arteries, but to detour blood around a blockage by using arteries or veins from other parts of the body (grafts) to bring oxygen and nutrients to heart muscle.

	Bypass Surgery
		Bypass surgery is used to improve the supply of blood and oxygen to your heart.
		Bypass surgery may be necessary when blood flow in one or more of your coronary arteries is restricted or completely stopped because of the gradual accumulation of cholesterol and fibrous tissue to form a plaque inside the arteries.
		Bypass surgery is usually recommended for severe angina or when the person's risk for heart attack and sudden death outweighs the risk of complications.

	Cardio 360: Heart Bypass Surgery Triple Bypass Surgery Coronary Bypass Surgery
		Coronary bypass surgery, also coronary artery bypass graft surgery and heart bypass surgery(colloquial), is a surgical procedure performed on patients with coronary artery disease for the relief of angina and possible improved heart muscle function.
		Veins or arteries from elsewhere in the patient's body are grafted from the aorta to the coronary arteries, bypassing coronary artery narrowings caused by atherosclerosis and improve the blood supply to the myocardium (heart muscle).
		The terms single bypass, double bypass, triple bypass and quadruple bypass refer to the number of coronary arteries that are bypassed in the procedure.

	Heart bypass surgery - WebMD
		During coronary artery bypass graft surgery (also called CABG, or "cabbage") a blood vessel is removed or redirected from one area of the body and placed around the area or areas of narrowing to "bypass" the blockages and restore blood flow to the heart muscle.
		If you have this type of bypass, you will probably be prescribed a medication called a calcium channel blocker for about six months after surgery to help keep the radial artery open.
		During surgery, the heart-lung bypass machine (called "on-pump" surgery) is used to take over for the heart and lungs, allowing the circulation of blood throughout the rest of the body.

	Gastric Bypass Surgery (Weight Loss Surgery or Stomach Stapling) Information on MedicineNet.com
		At 5-foot-5, 272 pounds, Harrison underwent gastric bypass surgery, a procedure in which part of her stomach was stapled down to create a small pouch, limiting the amount of food she can eat.
		A Y-shaped part of the small intestine was attached to the pouch, which lets food bypass the first part of the small intestine and a section of the second part.
		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).

	Gastric bypass surgery should be a last resort, not a choice of convenience
		This is all part of a recent wave of publicity for gastric bypass surgery as a treatment for obesity, but there's a problem with this approach to surgical procedures and the related publicity in the national press.
		Too many people are turning to gastric bypass surgery as a choice of convenience -- because they're simply not interested in doing the other things that can help a person lose weight, such as making new food choices or engaging in regular physical exercise.
		So when people say that they are undergoing gastric bypass surgery after "trying everything", the truth of the matter is they haven't tried everything, and probably they haven't even tried the basic things such as natural sunlight, exercise and food choice.
