What is Gastric Bypass?
Gastric bypass is a highly effective surgical weight loss procedure that alters the digestive system to restrict food intake and decrease nutrient absorption.
During the surgery, which is typically performed using a keyhole (laparoscopic) approach, the stomach is divided into a small upper pouch and a much larger lower remnant pouch, and the small intestine is rearranged to connect to both.
This reduces the stomach's capacity and allows food to bypass a portion of the small intestine, leading to significant and sustained weight loss.
Who is it for?
This procedure is aimed at individuals with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35 or more, or those with a BMI of 30 or more who have obesity-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or severe sleep apnea.
