How does a gastric bypass cause weight loss? It works through altering your biochemistry and your biology. So although this term is smaller when we create a bypass, we don't think that's the real reason why people eat less food. The gastric bypass causes a number of changes in your biochemistry, in particular in the levels of various hormones in your body. After gastric bypass, your hunger hormones will drop and you will feel less hunger and at the same time your fullness hormones will increase and you will feel full much faster after a meal. And we think these are some of the implicated mechanisms by which people eat less after gastric bypass and therefore there is less calories going in and they can lead to weight loss.
