A gastric bypass is a permanent surgery on the stomach. It is used to reduce the length of the digestive tract and stop food from being absorbed. A small pouch is created at the top of the stomach. Food bypasses the stomach and most of the intestine. It will not be digested and food will no longer be absorbed. Part of the intestine will be grafted to the top of the pouch.
