What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Gastric Bypass Surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a highly effective bariatric procedure that combines both restrictive and malabsorptive mechanisms for significant weight loss. The surgery creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the small intestine to bypass a portion of the digestive tract, leading to reduced food intake and decreased nutrient absorption.
How Gastric Bypass Works
The procedure involves two main components:
- Restriction: Creating a small stomach pouch (about 15-20ml) that limits food intake
- Malabsorption: Bypassing a portion of the small intestine to reduce calorie and nutrient absorption
- Hormonal Changes: Altering gut hormones that control hunger, satiety, and blood sugar regulation
