What Is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Gastric bypass surgery (Roux-en-Y) involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting part of the small intestine. This results in both food restriction and nutrient absorption changes — helping patients lose weight faster and improve metabolic health.
It’s often recommended for patients with higher BMI or severe conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or GERD.
