Gastric Bypass at CARE Surgery Clinic
At CARE Surgery Clinic, we offer gastric bypass surgery as a highly effective and long-lasting weight loss solution for individuals struggling with severe obesity. This procedure, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, helps you lose weight by changing your stomach and small intestine. Our experienced surgeons are dedicated to providing comprehensive care and support throughout your weight loss journey.
Common Questions
Gastric bypass surgery involves two main steps:
Creating a Smaller Stomach Pouch: The surgeon creates a small pouch at the top of your stomach, restricting the amount of food it can hold. This helps you feel full faster and consume less food.
Rerouting the Digestive System: The surgeon connects the small pouch directly to a portion of the small intestine, bypassing a significant portion of your stomach and the upper part of your small intestine. This limits the number of calories and nutrients your body absorbs.
- Significant Weight Loss: Gastric bypass can lead to substantial weight loss, often exceeding that achieved with other weight loss methods.
- Long-Term Results: Many patients maintain significant weight loss for many years after surgery.
- Improved Health: Gastric bypass can help improve or resolve obesity-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and joint pain.
- Enhanced Quality of Life: Weight loss can lead to increased energy levels, improved mobility, and a greater sense of well-being.
Gastric bypass may be an option if you:
- Have a BMI of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with serious obesity-related health problems.
- Have tried other weight loss methods without success.
- Are committed to making long-term lifestyle changes, including following a healthy diet and exercising regularly.
