Gastric Bypass surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is a weight loss surgery that alters the digestive system to help you lose weight. It involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large part of the stomach and duodenum. This not only restricts food intake but also decreases nutrient absorption, leading to significant weight loss.
Patients typically lose 70% to 80% of their excess body weight within the first 12 to 18 months after Gastric Bypass surgery. It's important to note that weight loss outcomes can vary based on the individual's commitment to lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise.
The Gastric Bypass procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, but individual times may vary.
