What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Gastric bypass surgery, or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine to bypass a portion of the stomach. This reduces calorie absorption and promotes weight loss.
Benefits of Gastric Bypass Surgery
Leads to greater and faster weight loss than gastric sleeve.
Reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
Alters gut hormones to control appetite.
