What is a Gastric Bypass or "Stomach Bypass"?

A gastric bypass, specifically the Roux-en-Y procedure, involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine to this pouch.
This surgery reduces stomach volume and alters food's pathway through the digestive system, limiting calorie intake and absorption, thus facilitating significant weight loss.

Why it's done?

● For individual who are severely obese with a BMI over 40, or over 35 with serious coexisting medical conditions like diabetes or high blood pressure.
● Have tried and failed to lose weight through diet and exercise.
● Seek a long-term weight loss solution with additional health benefits.
