Transform Your Life with Gastric Bypass Surgery

Gastric Bypass Surgery is a proven and effective weight loss procedure designed for individuals struggling with obesity. By reducing the stomach size and altering the digestive system, this surgery helps patients achieve long-term weight loss and improved overall health.

What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Gastric bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB), is a bariatric procedure that involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting a portion of the small intestine. This process limits food intake, reduces calorie absorption, and alters hunger hormones to support sustainable weight loss.

Benefits of Gastric Bypass Surgery

• Significant Weight Loss – Patients typically lose 60-80% of excess body weight within the first two years.

• Improved Health Conditions – Helps in the management or resolution of conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and high cholesterol.

• Enhanced Quality of Life – Increased mobility, better self-confidence, and a healthier lifestyle.

• Long-Term Success – With the right post-surgery care, patients can maintain a healthy weight for a lifetime.

Who is a Candidate?

Gastric bypass may be the right option if you:

• Have a BMI of 40 or higher, or BMI of 35+ with obesity-related health conditions.

• Have tried other weight loss methods without long-term success.

• Are committed to making lifelong dietary and lifestyle changes.

• Do not have medical conditions that contraindicate surgery.

The Procedure

Pre-Surgery Preparation – Comprehensive evaluations, nutritional counseling, and medical assessments.

Surgery Day – A minimally invasive laparoscopic procedure is performed under general anesthesia.

Recovery Phase – Patients typically stay in the hospital for 1-2 days and gradually transition to a specialized diet.
