Benefits of Gastric Bypass Surgery

Why choose Gastric Bypass surgery?

Unlike other weight loss surgeries, gastric bypass surgery provides a permanent weight loss solution. It not only initiates rapid weight loss in the first year after surgery, but also ensures prolonged maintenance of a lower body weight through a non-invasive surgery.

Because the gastric bypass is performed as a laparoscopic procedure, patients recover quickly after surgery. There is a shorter recovery period because there is not a big scar to heal; there is little pain from the incision itself and there is less risk of complications. Gastric bypass patients begin to see the results of surgery almost immediately, as initial weight loss is rapid.

Gastric Bypass Roux-en Y is a weight loss procedure that combines two effective surgery methods to enable weight loss: restrictive surgery and malabsorptive surgery.

 

Restrictive bariatric surgery makes the actual stomach of patients smaller so they can eat less.

Malabsorptive bariatric surgery limits the amount of food, calories and nutrients the body absorbs.

 

What happens during gastric bypass surgery?

In a gastric bypass procedure, your stomach is divided in two and a smaller pouch is made which becomes your new stomach. The bowel is then connected in such a way that food has a shorter distance to travel to reach your colon so fewer nutrients are absorbed after eating. Gastric Bypass Roux-en Y is often considered the safest, most effective weight loss surgery option for treating obesity. Gastric bypass patients can expect to loose 65-80% of excess body fat

 after the surgery.
