Gastric Bypass Surgery

Overview

Gastric bypass surgery is a type of weight loss surgery that helps individuals with severe obesity lose weight by altering their digestive system. It reduces the size of the stomach and changes how food is absorbed leading to significant weight loss. One of the most common types is Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) which helps patients improve their overall health and quality of life.
