Gastric bypass is the name for a group of varying gastric surgical procedures used to treat morbid obesity. All of the gastric bypass procedure reduces the size of the stomach by as much as 90 percent. During a gastric bypass the stomach is divided into two sections, and the smaller less stretchable part is used to create a small pouch for food intake. Individuals who have undergone gastric bypass lose large amounts of weight; consequently approximately seventy percent of these individuals will be relieved of collateral health problems such as essential hypertension and high cholesterol. In fact, the mortality rate is reduced by eighty nine percent over five years after the surgery compared to obese individuals who have not had the surgery. Can you win social security disability or SSI disability benefits on the basis of a gastric bypass?
