For decades, gastric bypass has been the gold standard of bariatric surgery. This weight loss surgery creates a smaller stomach, about the size of an egg, and re-sets the metabolism while reducing appetite. Gastric bypass surgery, along with sleeve gastrectomy, are effective tools for addressing obesity and obesity-related diseases. Danny Shouhed, M.D. is one of the top bariatric surgeons in Los Angeles, offering minimally-invasive gastric bypass surgery to his patients.
For individuals who have struggled with obesity and obesity-related disorders, gastric bypass surgery can be the procedure they need to obtain better health. Gastric bypass surgery re-sizes the stomach and makes alterations to the small intestines to change the way the body digests food.
Gastric bypass surgery can give patients a tool to help them lose weight quickly and re-set their metabolism. Many obesity-related diseases like hypertension, type 2 diabetes and joint pain can be improved with significant weight loss that can be achieved with gastric bypass surgery.
Bariatric surgeries like gastric bypass surgery are designed to help those who are morbidly obese lose weight and become healthier. Both gastric sleeve and gastric bypass surgery can obtain excellent results, and both are often covered by health insurance if you meet the requirements. If you have obesity-related health issues and need to lose excessive weight, you may be a good candidate for weight loss surgery. Dr. Shouhed can discuss the different options available, including gastric bypass surgery, and help determine if you are a good candidate for bariatric surgery.

"I feel so lucky I found Dr. Shouhed! After 21 years of my first gastric bypass and almost 3 years of having my son, some weight regain was the cause of some orthopedic problems. As an added value he had trained with the best experts in this area. A total win, decided to follow the steps to check every single item of the checklist, in the process he discovered I also had an hiatal hernia (which he also took care of) and voilà! I had my surgery this past December 21st. 2022, already at 12 pounds lost post surgery. Couldn’t be more thankful to his amazing team, Sylvia and Daisy in his office and Cecilia in the post op team! So great at following up and making sure everything was on track! Dr. Shouhed, thank you again for helping me change my life a second time and for going the extra-mile with me! Forever thankful!"
