Gastric bypass surgery is generally recommended for individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or those with a BMI of 35 or higher who also suffer from obesity-related health conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea. For cancer patients, the decision to undergo gastric bypass should be made in consultation with a multidisciplinary team, including oncologists, bariatric surgeons, and nutritionists.
