Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)

Laparoscopic RYGB is a highly effective weight-loss surgery combining restriction and mild malabsorption. It creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes part of the small intestine, reducing both the amount of food eaten and the calories absorbed.

It offers sustainable results for individuals with obesity-related health issues such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea, often improving or resolving these conditions.

As with all bariatric procedures, RYGB requires a lifelong commitment to dietary changes, vitamin and mineral supplementation, and regular follow-up with the surgical team to maintain results and long-term health.
