Gastric Bypass

Summary

Gastric bypass surgery is an effective treatment for obesity, which is one of the leading causes of preventable death worldwide. The aim of this procedure is to help you lose significant weight by making you feel full faster with smaller amounts of food while absorbing fewer calories.

The success of gastric bypass varies based on individual eating habits and exercise after surgery. Commitment to lifestyle changes and regular follow-up visits with your healthcare provider are essential for achieving lasting results.

Gastric bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a bariatric or weight loss surgery for obese patients who have not been successful losing weight through dieting, exercise, and medication.

The surgery uses a combination of restrictive and malabsorptive techniques to achieve a successful outcome. Staples are used to create a smaller stomach to limit the amount of food intake, and a large portion of the small intestine is bypassed to limit the nutrients and calories absorbed.

The goal of the surgery is to make you feel full quicker so you don’t overeat, and absorb fewer calories by the modifications made in the small intestine.

Gastric bypass surgery has been shown to help reduce obesity and related illnesses, including heart disease, high blood pressure, and especially type 2 diabetes.

It can be performed laparoscopically through tiny incisions (minimally invasive technique) or through a large open incision (open technique).

Liver disease significantly impacts overall health by impairing the liver’s essential functions, such as detoxification, digestion, and nutrient storage. When the liver is damaged, it can lead to serious complications, including jaundice, fatigue, and hormonal imbalances. As liver function declines, individuals become more vulnerable to infections and may suffer nutritional deficiencies.

If left untreated, liver disease can result in severe consequences, including liver failure and an increased risk of liver cancer. Understanding the effects of liver disease is crucial for early detection and effective management, vital for maintaining overall well-being.
