Gastric bypass surgery is a highly effective weight loss procedure that reduces the size of the stomach and reroutes the digestive tract to limit food intake and calorie absorption.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RNY): The most common type, it involves creating a small stomach pouch and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a portion of the stomach and intestines. This reduces calorie absorption and helps patients lose 60–80% of their excess weight.
Mini Gastric Bypass: A simpler variation, this procedure creates a longer stomach pouch and bypasses a larger portion of the intestine. It has similar weight loss results but with a shorter operating time and slightly different surgical technique.
Both surgeries can improve or resolve conditions like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
