Gastric bypass, also called Roux-en-Y (roo-en-wy) gastric bypass, is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting the newly created pouch directly to the small intestine. After gastric bypass, swallowed food will go into this small pouch of stomach and then directly into the small intestine, thereby bypassing most of your stomach and the first section of your small intestine. Gastric bypass is one of the most commonly performed types of bariatric surgery. Gastric bypass is done when diet and exercise haven't worked or when you have serious health problems because of your weight.
Immediately after gastric bypass surgery, you may have liquids but no solid food as your stomach and intestines begin to heal. You'll then follow a special diet plan that changes slowly from liquids to pureed foods. After that, you can eat soft foods, then move on to firmer foods as your body is able to tolerate them. You may have many restrictions or limits on how much and what you can eat and drink. Your doctor will recommend you take vitamin and mineral supplements after surgery, including a multivitamin with iron, calcium and vitamin B-12. You'll also have frequent medical checkups to monitor your health in the first several months after weight-loss surgery. You may need laboratory testing, bloodwork and various exams.
Gastric Bypass surgery, also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is a weight loss surgery that alters the digestive system to help you lose weight. It involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large part of the stomach and duodenum. This not only restricts food intake but also decreases nutrient absorption, leading to significant weight loss.
Patients typically lose 70% to 80% of their excess body weight within the first 12 to 18 months after Gastric Bypass surgery. It's important to note that weight loss outcomes can vary based on the individual's commitment to lifestyle changes, including diet and exercise.
