Serious question: Is lowering consumption of food the only affect of gastric bypass?

caoin asked:
I just watched a documentary about obesity so I’m curious- but I don’t want it to come off sounding like I think all people can just fix their obesity on their own. I just truly want to know, factually, if the sole purpose of gastric bypass/Lap Band is to limit consumption of food? And would, therefore, limiting oneself to the same portions as the portions a person with this surgery has had produce the same results? Is there another element to the surgery that assists in rapid loss of weight?

The surgerys effectiveness stems from the fact that it physically takes away your appetite making it near impossible to cheat.

yes…you spend a lot of time in the bathroom.
So you eat less and less food stays in your system. You retain fewer calories and fewer vitamins. (and water…)
