Everyone who is seriously considering having gastric bypass surgery should have all the facts in front of them before making such a commitment.

Today I weigh some of the pros and cons to be considered. I recommend having an ongoing dialogue with your physician if  you are thinking of moving forward and want to consider your options. Your Physician may also recommend that you speak to a specialist before making your decision.

I mentioned BMI, or body mass index, as an approximate way to determine the line between overweight and obese. This NIH webpage explains BMI and allows you to calculate your own.

If you have any questions about the nutritional consequences that are possible after undergoing gastric bypass surgery, feel free to email me on my website:
