Many people visit Mexico for low cost gastric bypass, a surgery for overweight. In a gastric bypass surgery, a surgeon divides the stomach into two connected parts—a small upper pouch and a larger, lower pouch. After the gastric bypass surgery, the patient automatically reduces food intake as he or she starts feeling full earlier.
