A loop of jejunum ( second part of small intestine) is then measured 180- 200 cm from the duodenojejunal flexure and an opening is made in it.  A similar opening is made in the stomach tube just created. A linear stapler is then used to join both the stomach tube and the jejunal loop. The opening is then closed with sutures. Thus the food enters the stomach tube and goes directly into the jejunum bypassing the remaining part of the excluded stomach.

Due to this good weight loss is expected over months and also resolution of comorbidities like diabetes, dyslipidemia, and hypertension.
