What Is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass) is a minimally invasive bariatric surgery that reduces the size of your stomach and reroutes a part of your small intestine. This dual mechanism limits the amount of food you can eat and decreases calorie absorption — leading to significant and sustained weight loss.
It is especially helpful for individuals dealing with severe obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and other weight-related health concerns.
Who Can Benefit from Gastric Bypass?
You may be a good candidate if:
- Your BMI is 35 or higher, or 30+ with comorbidities (like diabetes, sleep apnea, joint pain, etc.)
- You’ve tried and failed with diet, exercise, and medications
- You’re seeking a long-term solution for weight loss
- You’re motivated to adopt a healthy lifestyle after surgery
Our expert team will evaluate your health and lifestyle to ensure this is the right choice for you.
How Does It Work?
The Procedure Involves:
- Creating a Small Stomach Pouch: The surgeon divides your stomach into a small upper pouch and a larger lower part. Only the small pouch receives food.
- Bypassing a Portion of the Small Intestine: The small intestine is rerouted so that food skips a section of it, reducing calorie and nutrient absorption.
- Improved Satiety and Metabolism: You eat less and absorb fewer calories, and hormonal changes improve metabolism and reduce hunger.
It is typically done laparoscopically (keyhole surgery), ensuring faster recovery and less pain.
Expected Weight Loss Results
Patients often lose 60% to 80% of their excess weight within the first 12 to 18 months post-surgery. Results improve when paired with healthy eating and regular physical activity.
Benefits include:
- Better control of Type 2 Diabetes, High Blood Pressure, PCOS, and Sleep Apnea
- Enhanced mobility and energy levels
- Long-term health improvement and quality of life
