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

Reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
Alters gut hormones to control appetite.

FAQs about Weight Loss Surgery
Weight loss varies, but most patients lose 50-70% of their excess weight within 12-18 months.
It depends on your BMI, health conditions, and weight loss goals. Gastric sleeve is simpler, while gastric bypass leads to greater long-term weight loss.
Gastric sleeve is permanent, but gastric bypass can sometimes be reversed. However, reversals are complex and rare.
Most patients return to light activities in 1-2 weeks and full activities within 4-6 weeks.
