Gastric Bypass

Gastric Bypass is an obesity surgery performed with the laparoscopic (closed) method. Parts of the stomach and intestines are bypassed and left out of use during the surgery. As the absorption rate of nutrients decreases, patients become full faster and the weight loss process is facilitated. Mini Gastric Bypass operation can also be implemented as alternative to this method.

How is Gastric Bypass Done?

Necessary examinations are made to the patient before gastric bypass. With general anesthesia, the patient is prepared for surgery. In the surgery performed by laparoscopy method, 90% of the stomach is separated and the stomach is reduced. 10% of the stomach, which is formed into a tube, is connected to the small intestine. In this way, both a feeling of satiety will occur and the amount of fat absorption will be significantly reduced.
