Bariatric Surgery, also called Gastric Bypass, is a major surgical procedure that shrinks the stomach.
It costs over $20,000. It is a medical procedure that makes over- consumption of food impossible by drastically lowering the amount of food you can consumme.
The long-term side-effects of having such a radical procedure done to your body are not clear at this time due to the fact this procedure is relatively new as an elective weight loss remedy.
The most common known side-effect is a lifelong dependence on supplements in order to provide basic nutritional requirements which cannot be ingested in the course of normal food consumption.
