Gastric bypass patients had lower current BMI and greater total weight loss than sleeve gastrectomy patients. Gastric bypass patients had more preoperative psychiatric diagnoses and higher psychotropic medication use than sleeve gastrectomy patients.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes part of the small intestine.
