What Is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Gastric bypass, medically known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a permanent bariatric procedure that creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes part of the small intestine. This reduces food intake and limits calorie absorption for significant, long-term weight loss.
The procedure also improves metabolic health by regulating appetite hormones and blood sugar, making it highly effective for patients with obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes.
