What Is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Gastric bypass surgery is a transformative weight loss solution that reconfigures your digestive system, offering a new path to sustained well-being. It was one of the first weight loss procedures invented in the 1960s, and is the second most commonly done weight loss procedure.
During the surgery, a small pouch is created, bypassing the main stomach, thereby limiting food intake. The new pouch is then connected to the small intestines, also bypassing the upper section, which restricts calorie absorption. This strategic bypass not only enhances portion control but also triggers the release of metabolic hormones, further supporting weight management.
Gastric bypass is considered one of the most effective procedures for weight loss. Patients can often experience substantial and long-term weight loss, along with improvement or resolution of obesity-related health issues.
The gastric bypass recovery time can vary, but most patients can expect a few days of discomfort, followed by a gradual return to normal activity levels. Most patients return to work in one to two weeks after the procedure. We provide detailed aftercare instructions and support to help you recover smoothly.
While you’ll need to make changes to your diet following the surgery, you will still be able to enjoy food. Our nutritionist will help you plan healthy and delicious meals, so that you can continue to enjoy eating after your surgery.
