Gastric Bypass Alternatives

Gastric bypass alternatives are other weight-loss options that may suit individuals unable or unwilling to undergo surgery. These include lifestyle changes like improved diet and increased physical activity, medications that suppress appetite or reduce absorption of calories, and less invasive procedures such as gastric balloon placement, which involves inserting a balloon into the stomach to promote fullness. Additionally, endoscopic techniques use specialized tools through the mouth to modify stomach size or function without open surgery. Each approach varies in effectiveness and suitability depending on personal health, weight loss goals, and medical history. Consulting a healthcare professional can help determine the most appropriate option.
