Gastric Bypass (RNY)
The Gastric Bypass RNY has long been considered by the American Society of Bariatric Surgeons and the National Institutes of Health to be the gold standard of weight loss surgery, and the single most successful procedure for excess weight loss and long-term weight control. The surgery has been performed by laparoscopic method since 1997, which results in smaller incisions, less pain and scarring, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stay, and reduced risk of internal organ damage and infection when compared to the traditional open incision technique

United States. The balloon is placed endoscopically (via the mouth and
esophagus), then inflated with saline or water and hermetically sealed,
reducing the patient's capacity to consume food and fluid and providing
the patient with a sensation of satiety.
