I was considering this type of surgery, till my Dr sent me to the hospital for some pre surgery tests. I met a nurse there whose sister had done this surgery the year before. This is all second hand mind you but she told me her sister had developed some sort of vitamin defencency. It is permanent, & she said her sis needed a 24/7 vitamin IV. & that her sister's Dr had said that her sister was terminally ill. & had only a few months left. Needless to say I did not do it. Your Dr should be able to refer you to some gastric by pass support groups in your area. Mine did. Infact he insisted I go to one. Unless you're morbidly obese I advise you not to have the surgery.
I sincerely hope this helps.

Weight loss surgery-like gastric bypass have become very common and very safe now. There is one company that is very famous in India that arranges Obesity surgery for foreigners in India. They are called the Fly2india4health Consultants. I read a lot about them in the Newspapers and about their patient stories. I have also read that they arrange financing for international patients, as all surgery is not covered by insurance or by the stinking NHS.
They also have photos pasted of their International patients. You can checkout their website. The cost savings are incredible. As a doctor I personally believe that your surgery can be easily handled in India, as the quality of Healthcare available here is simply best in the world. The surgeons are USA/UK trained and facilities are 5 star.
My cousin got her Obesity surgery done there and she is more than very happy with the results. She is all praise for Fly2india4health Consultants. She paid just 20% of the cost what she was quoted in USA and it was like a wonderful vacation for her. Hope this helps

I think gastric bypass is only necessary for the morbidly obese. By that I mean people who weigh in at 400 plus pounds or have major, life threatening illnesses that will cause death in little or no time. But I'm not a doctor.
