dr amit sood best bariatric surgeon Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) is a weight loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach and connecting the newly created pouch directly to the small intestine. After Roux-en-Y gastric bypass , swallowed food will go into this small pouch of stomach and then directly into the small intestine, thereby bypassing most of your stomach and the first section of your small intestine.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a restrictive-malabsorptive surgery, which means that it works by both restricting the amount of food that you can eat and by reducing the amount of nutrients that you absorb. The restrictive component of RYGB is due to the small size of the stomach pouch. The malabsorptive component of RYGB is due to the fact that food is bypassed the first section of the small intestine, which is where some nutrients are absorbed.

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is one of the most effective weight loss surgeries available. Studies have shown that patients who have Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery can lose an average of 60-70% of their excess weight. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery can also improve a patient’s overall health by reducing the risk of obesity-related conditions, such as diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea.
