A

A small stomach pouch is created and then directly connected to the small intestine. The pouch can only hold 1 oz of food, causing a feeling of fullness after a very small amount of food. Over time, the pouch will stretch to hold about one cup. The body absorbs fewer calories since food bypasses the majority of the stomach and duodenum. Leads to decreased appetite and improved metabolism by changing the release of various hormones.
