    AbstractObesity is currently an epidemic in the United States. Gastric bypass surgery has been a topic of increased interest in the last two decades. Some hospitals started intestinal bypass surgeries in the late 1960s. Gastric bypass has been in the media in the last couple of years because certain popular magazines have reported a variety of actresses obtaining resectional gastric bypass (RGB) surgery. However, little long-term research (greater than 5 years) has been done with a view of quality of life issues surrounding gastric bypass. This article explores the long-term effects of obesity and RGB surgery. The barriers to obesity and quality of life are also investigated in this review.
