What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Gastric bypass surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is the gold standard bariatric procedure that combines both restriction and malabsorption for effective weight loss. This procedure creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the small intestine, resulting in:
- 60-80% excess weight loss within 12-18 months
- Diabetes remission in 80-90% of patients
- Improved heart health and reduced cardiovascular risk
- Better sleep apnea and joint pain relief
- Enhanced quality of life and self-confidence
How Gastric Bypass Works
- Stomach Division: Creates a small 20-30ml pouch from the upper stomach
- Intestinal Rerouting: Connects the pouch directly to the middle small intestine
- Dual Mechanism: Restricts food intake and reduces nutrient absorption
- Hormonal Changes: Alters hunger and satiety hormones for appetite control
