Gastric Bypass Surgery — Comprehensive Guide
What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most effective weight-loss surgeries. It reduces the size of the stomach and alters the path of food in the intestines, leading to reduced calorie absorption and improvement in obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
Types of Gastric Bypass Surgery
-
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass: The most common type of surgery, where a small stomach pouch is created and the path of food is rerouted to reduce calorie absorption.
-
Mini Gastric Bypass: A minimally invasive method with a shorter surgery time and quicker recovery, still offering effective weight loss.
