What Is Gastric Bypass?

Gastric bypass surgery is also called roux-en-y gastric bypass too. It is one of the most favoured obesity surgeries these days. Nearly 50% of obesity surgeries utilise this operation method nowadays. In a process, the surgery consists of two parts,

Part I: Creation of the stomach pouch

The doctor dissects the patient’s stomach into two pieces. One of them is large, and the other is quite small. Then the doctor sews the smaller pouch close. This new stomach pouch can only hold around 200 to 300 millilitres in volume.

When the stomach is made smaller this way, the patient feels satiated much quicker and cannot eat as much as before. This is a restrictive process since we restrict the amount of food the stomach is able to hold.

Part II: The Bypass

The doctor separates the newly created smaller pouch from the rest of the digestive tract first. After that, the doctor connects this smaller pouch into the small intestine a few centimetres beyond the beginning. And the place this new small stomach connects to the small intestine is called the jejunum.

Since we bypass the first part of the small intestine, the patient’s body is not able to absorb nutrients from food as efficiently as before. This is a malabsorptive process.

Gastric Bypass Results

Generally, you stay at the hospital after gastric bypass surgery is either two or three days. Patients can return to their regular routine and activities in 2 to 3 weeks.

Very few patients may have complications after the operation. In order to avoid this, you can consult our surgeons’ expertise. Furthermore, taking nutritional supplementation and regularly checking your blood level are useful measures to decrease the likelihood.
