As it does not modify the intestine, it maintains the normal absorption of nutrients and is indicated in patients with moderate or severe obesity (BMI over 35). <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3EAYrn7RSg4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v%3D3EAYrn7RSg4&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1770799759793000&amp;usg=AOvVaw2I4fgZBlXKj8Pu2qc61bjm\">Gastric bypass<\/a><br \/>\nGastric bypass is a bariatric surgery that reduces the size of the stomach and modifies the intestinal tract, combining a restrictive and malabsorptive effect. It is indicated in patients with moderate or severe obesity (BMI over 35) and in people with BMI over 30 with associated diseases, as it allows a significant weight loss and improvement of pathologies such as diabetes or hypertension. <\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8OtLW5R5ybA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v%3D8OtLW5R5ybA&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1770799759793000&amp;usg=AOvVaw31Ihhv9BdMmGIkYhXnsOb5\">Bagua<\/a>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<p>Bagua, or single-anastomosis gastric bypass, is a bariatric technique that combines stomach reduction with a partial intestinal bypass.
