        What is a gastric bypass?

        Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is an operation which both minimizes stomach capacity and restricts absorption. It reduces the amount of foods you eat, and at the same time it ensures some of the nutrients’ disposal without absorption.

        Gastric bypass reduces stomach size by over 90%. The normal stomach may enlarge, sometimes up to 1000 ml. The gastric bypass pouch, that is, the area created for the stomach, is made in the upper part of the stomach, is 15-30 ml in size, which can stretch very little, and thus, there is no significant increase in the volume of the pouch in the long term.

        How is Rny-Gastric Bypass Surgery Performed?

        With the planned bariatric surgery, your stomach is divided into two main sections using special surgical materials (laparoscopic). One of these sections is quite small. The small stomach section is connected to an area about 50-70 cm long from the beginning of the small intestine and the two intestines are reconnected to allow bile and pancreatic secretions to reach the 100-150 cm area that continues beyond this level.

        Basic Stages of Surgery:

        Stomach Division: Your stomach is divided into two main sections, one of which is very small.
        Intestinal Connection: The small stomach section is connected to an area about 50-70 cm long from the beginning of the small intestine.
        Bile and Pancreatic Secretions: The intestines are reconnected in such a way that bile and pancreatic secretions reach after 100-150 cm.

        Long Term Effects:

        Permanent Weight Loss: Permanent weight loss is achieved in the long term due to reduced food intake and limited calorie absorption.
        Metabolic Improvements: The surgery provides improvements in type 2 diabetes and other obesity-related health problems.
