WHAT IS GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY?
Gastric Bypass surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is a bariatric surgical procedure designed to help individuals with severe obesity achieve significant and sustained weight loss.
During the surgery, the surgeon creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach, restricting the amount of food that can be consumed. This newly formed pouch is then connected directly to the middle section of the small intestine, bypassing a portion of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine. This alteration in the digestive tract results in reduced food intake and limited nutrient absorption, promoting weight loss and potential improvements in obesity-related health conditions.
The power of Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass surgery has proven to be a life-changing solution for individuals struggling with obesity and its associated health complications.
By creating a smaller stomach pouch and rerouting the digestive tract, this procedure restricts food intake, reduces calorie absorption, and promotes sustainable weight loss.
