Gastric Bypass Surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is a bariatric weight-loss procedure designed to help individuals lose excess weight by reducing stomach size and limiting calorie absorption. The surgery works by creating a small stomach pouch from the upper part of the stomach and directly connecting it to the small intestine. This limits the amount of food a person can eat and reduces nutrient absorption, leading to significant weight loss.

In addition to weight reduction, Gastric Bypass Surgery offers many health benefits. It can help improve or resolve obesity-related conditions such as sleep apnea, heart disease, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Patients typically lose 55% to 70% of their excess weight when the procedure is combined with long-term lifestyle changes.

Gastric Bypass Surgery is performed under local anesthesia using advanced surgical techniques. During the procedure, the doctor at our affiliated clinic separates a small upper portion of the stomach to form a new pouch capable of holding only a small amount of food. This pouch is then directly connected to the small intestine, bypassing the larger lower part of the stomach and a portion of the intestine.

As a result, food intake is significantly reduced, and digestion occurs faster with fewer calories and nutrients absorbed. Specialized surgical instruments and laparoscopic equipment are typically used to ensure precision and minimize recovery time. Since nutrient absorption is reduced, patients are required to take prescribed vitamin and mineral supplements long-term.
