Bariatric Procedures
The laparoscopic gastric bypass, also known as the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is considered the gold standard in bariatric surgery for addressing morbid obesity and its comorbidities.
With gastric bypass, you won't just lose excess weight; you'll also heal or manage many of the health conditions affecting you today. Additionally, at Medbariatrix, we offer the best specialists for various bariatric procedures, including gastric sleeve, gastric balloon, and bariatric conversion surgery.
A gastric bypass is a bariatric surgery that restricts stomach volume and reduces nutrient absorption. This means you will feel full with less food, which is absorbed in smaller amounts.
During the gastric bypass procedure, a small stomach pouch (with a capacity of about 30 c/c) is created using staples. To decrease fat absorption, the first section of the intestine is bypassed, and the new pouch is directly connected to the remaining portion of the intestine.
After the surgery, you’ll need to compensate for the lack of nutrients in your body by supplementing your diet with proteins and vitamins. Don’t worry, as your nutritionist will provide you with all the necessary post-surgery recommendations to achieve healthy weight loss without feeling hungry.
Despite its benefits, gastric bypass is not suitable for everyone; certain factors must be considered. It is particularly ideal for patients with morbid obesity. Therefore, to be a candidate for this bariatric technique, your BMI must be around 45 points.
Additionally, the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is recommended for adults who have been overweight since childhood. It is also beneficial for individuals with type II diabetes mellitus or hiatal hernia. In any case, the results of gastric bypass are outstanding, and its effectiveness is generally very high.
At Medbariatrix, we have performed countless successful weight loss surgeries. We use cutting-edge technology and offer services specially designed to provide safe and effective care.
Gastric bypass has proven to be effective in improving and even resolving comorbidities related to obesity, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, asthma, varicose veins, and even infertility.
Choosing to improve your health with gastric bypass surgery can bring many benefits, including:
Remission of type 2 diabetes.
Relief from joint pain.
Resolution of sleep apnea.
Reduction of risks related to hypertension and heart disease.
Healthier lifestyle.
Better quality of life.
Dramatic long-term weight loss.
