Bypass Tunisia: Affordable Gastric Bypass Surgery Cost

It is often recommended for people with a body mass index (BMI) above 40, or those whose BMI is between 35 and 40 and who have obesity-related health problems, such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea. By reducing the size of the stomach and bypassing part of the intestine, this procedure helps change eating habits and improve patients' overall health.
