What Is Gastric Bypass?
Gastric Bypass, or Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is a highly effective bariatric procedure that combines two mechanisms: reducing the size of the stomach and rerouting a portion of the small intestine. This dual action limits how much food the patient can consume while also decreasing calorie absorption. Because the procedure positively influences metabolic functions, it is especially known for its strong impact on type 2 diabetes and long-term weight control.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate?
The procedure is recommended for individuals with a BMI of 40 or above, or those with a BMI between 35–40 who suffer from obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea or chronic acid reflux. It is also a suitable option for patients who have struggled to maintain weight loss through lifestyle changes or previous non-surgical treatments.

This combination produces rapid and sustained weight reduction while helping regulate appetite and blood sugar.
Expected Results and Recovery
Most patients lose a significant portion of their excess weight within the first 12–18 months.

Patients progress through a structured diet plan—from liquids to puréed and soft foods—before transitioning to a balanced long-term eating routine. Regular follow-ups, vitamin supplementation and an active lifestyle are essential for lasting success.
Most patients resume daily activities within one week.
Weight loss usually begins within the first few weeks.
