Gastric Bypass Pictures

The old saying that "a picture paints a thousand words" is certainly true in the case of gastric bypass surgery as can be seen from just the small selection of gastric bypass pictures shown here.

For many people weight loss surgery presents a tempting solution to their weight problem and often to many years of failed attempts at losing weight through dieting.

But all too many people are also skeptical about whether or not gastric bypass surgery can produce the results that many claim for it.

However, being able to see the actual results obtained by other people in the form of gastric bypass before and after photos goes a very long way to help dispel any doubts about the effectiveness of gastric bypass (bariatric or weight loss) surgery.

These pictures were taken between the summer of 2003 and 2005 when one couple decided that they would both undergo surgery together and show the couple before surgery, one year after their operations and two years out from surgery.

Prior to gastric bypass surgery the husband weighed in at 360 pounds and his wife weighed around 300 pounds.

Two years down the road though they had managed to shed a combined total of no less than 317 pounds!

Perhaps the best and most graphic illustration of their achievement can be seen in this picture of the wife being able to fit here new slimmer self into just one leg of here pre-gastric bypass surgery jeans.
