Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass offers a proven and effective solution for achieving significant, sustainable weight loss and improving obesity-related health conditions.

This laparoscopic surgical procedure addresses obesity through a two-pronged approach:

• Reduced Stomach Capacity: A small stomach pouch is created, significantly limiting food intake and promoting early satiety. This curbs calorie consumption and jumpstarts weight loss.

• Digestive System Rerouting: A portion of the small intestine is bypassed, restricting nutrient absorption. This further promotes weight loss by reducing the number of calories and nutrients the body can absorb.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass may be an appropriate option for individuals with:

• A Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 35 or a BMI greater than 30 with co-morbidities such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, or severe joint pain.

• Difficulty managing weight loss through traditional methods like diet and exercise.

• A commitment to long-term lifestyle changes following surgery.

The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Procedure:

• Minimally Invasive: Performed laparoscopically, minimizing recovery time and discomfort.

• Shorter Hospital Stay: Typically requires a 2-3 day stay for monitoring and post-operative care.

• Experienced Surgical Team: Our board-certified surgeons are highly skilled in performing Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass procedures.

Expected Weight Loss Outcomes:

While individual results may vary, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass has a well-established track record for significant weight loss. You can expect an Excess Weight Loss Percentage (EWL%) ranging from 35% in 3 months to 78% in 5 years.

Important Considerations:

• Long-Term Commitment: Successful weight loss requires adherence to post-surgical dietary and lifestyle modifications.

• Individualized Approach: We offer comprehensive consultations to determine if Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is the right choice for you.

• Risk Assessment: As with any surgery, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass carries potential risks. We will discuss these risks thoroughly during your consultation.

• Lifelong Supplementation: Post-surgery may require lifelong vitamin and mineral supplementation.
