Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey
Achieve significant weight loss with gastric bypass surgery, one of the most effective bariatric procedures.
What is Gastric Bypass?
Gastric bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a surgical procedure that creates a small stomach pouch and connects it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a portion of the stomach and upper intestine. This limits food intake and reduces nutrient absorption.
How Gastric Bypass Works
The procedure works in two ways: restriction (smaller stomach holds less food) and malabsorption (bypassing part of the intestine reduces calorie absorption). This dual mechanism makes it one of the most effective weight loss surgeries.
Expected Results
Patients typically lose 60-80% of excess weight within 12-18 months. The procedure also often improves or resolves obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
