Gastric Bypass Surgery

What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is a combined restrictive and malabsorptive procedure that creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the small intestine.

This dual-action approach not only limits food intake but also reduces calorie absorption, making it one of the most effective treatments for severe obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Key Benefits of Gastric Bypass

🔹 Most effective for long-term weight maintenance (60-80% excess weight loss)
🔹 Highest remission rates for type 2 diabetes (83-90% of cases)
🔹 Significant improvement in metabolic syndrome
🔹 Reduction in hunger hormones (ghrelin) and increased satiety hormones
🔹 Proven 30-year track record with extensive research

Who Should Consider Gastric Bypass?

✔ BMI ≥ 40 or BMI ≥ 35 with serious comorbidities
✔ Patients with severe GERD (better outcomes than sleeve)
✔ Those needing significant metabolic improvement
✔ Individuals committed to lifelong vitamin supplementation
✔ Non-smokers willing to make permanent lifestyle changes
