Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass surgery is a highly effective weight loss procedure that involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting part of the small intestine. This limits food intake and calorie absorption, leading to significant weight loss.
Consultation and Preparation
The surgeon will assess your medical history and weight loss goals to determine if the surgery is right for you. Pre-operative evaluations and nutritional counseling will be provided to help you prepare.
Procedure
Performed laparoscopically, the surgery reduces the stomach size and reroutes the small intestine to limit food intake and absorption.
Recovery
You will stay in the hospital for one to two days. Post-operative care includes dietary guidelines and pain management.
Lifestyle Changes
Ongoing support is provided to help you adopt healthy habits for long-term weight loss success.
Risks
While effective, gastric bypass has risks, which will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
