Question

○ a. gastric bypass
○ b. gastric banding
○ c. sleeve gastrectomy
○ d. intragastric balloon

Explanation:

Gastric bypass is a surgical procedure where a small gastric pouch is created and connected directly to the jejunum. Gastric banding involves placing a band around the stomach to create a small pouch but does not connect to the jejunum. Sleeve gastrectomy removes a large portion of the stomach but does not involve connecting to the jejunum. An intragastric balloon is a non - surgical device placed inside the stomach and has no connection to the jejunum.

Answer:

A. Gastric bypass
