Gastric Bypass Surgery

Gastric bypass surgery is a surgical procedure used to treat obesity. During this surgery, the stomach and intestines are rearranged, reducing the capacity for food intake and calorie absorption.

Procedure

Gastric bypass surgery is performed to reduce the size of the stomach and partially bypass the intestines. During the surgery, the stomach is reduced to a smaller pouch about the size of a walnut. Then, the upper part of this pouch is connected to a portion of the intestine, allowing food to bypass the stomach and upper intestine and go directly to the small intestine.

Advantages of the Surgery

The advantages of gastric bypass surgery include rapid weight loss, improvement or reduction of health issues related to obesity, diabetes control, and long-term weight management. Additionally, the bypassed stomach method helps patients consume less food and feel full faster.

Risks and Complications of the Surgery

Like any surgical procedure, gastric bypass surgery carries certain risks. These risks may include infection, bleeding, intestinal obstruction, nutritional deficiencies, and leakage in the bypassed stomach area. However, these risks can be minimized with modern surgical techniques and expert surgeons.

Postoperative Process

After the surgery, patients typically stay in the hospital for a few days and begin to change their eating habits. Starting with liquids and soft foods for the first few weeks, patients gradually transition to a normal diet. Regular postoperative check-ups and support from a dietitian are important for achieving successful results.
