Gastric Bypass

In order to accomplish weight reduction, gastric bypass surgery, sometimes referred to as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, uses both restrictive and malabsorptive processes.

The surgeon separates the stomach from the remainder of the stomach by making a little pouch at the top of the stomach during the surgery. The top section of the small intestine and a piece of the stomach are omitted by connecting this pouch straight to the small intestine. Gastric bypass limits food intake and lessens the absorption of calories and nutrients by shrinking the stomach and changing the digestive process. Significant weight reduction results from this, as do the amelioration or remission of health issues linked to obesity, such as diabetes, hypertension, and obstructive sleep apnea.
