Our Roux-en-Y surgery is performed laparoscopically, where surgeons utilize specialized tools inserted through small incisions. They then divide the upper stomach into two parts and connect the small pouch left of the upper stomach to the intestines using a “Roux-en-Y” intestinal limb. This procedure prevents bile from entering the upper portion of the stomach and allows digestion to bypass the remaining stomach portion and the first segment of the small intestines.
This surgery reconfigures the patient’s digestive tract, providing a sense of fullness even with small amounts of food. Despite bypassing the part of the intestines where calcium and iron are absorbed into the bloodstream, patients still receive the nutritional benefits of the food they consume.

Gastric bypass patients typically experience significant weight loss, with approximately half occurring within the first six months post-surgery. This weight loss trajectory can continue for up to two years following the procedure. The Roux-en-Y surgery, known for its effectiveness, yields faster and more substantial weight loss outcomes. This makes it particularly advantageous for patients struggling with chronic obesity.
