RNY Gastric Bypass Surgery

This weight-loss can help improve or resolve obesity

RNY Gastric Bypass, or Roux-en-Y laparoscopic bypass, is a laparoscopic weight loss surgery, which means it is performed through small incisions in the abdomen. It is the most common bariatric surgery in the United States. The surgeon creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach, which is then connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing most of the stomach.

How the Bypass Works

What Happens Inside Your Body

  • The surgeon makes a small pouch at the top of your stomach.
  • Then connects that pouch directly to your small intestine.
  • Food will go into the small pouch and then the intestine, skipping most of your stomach.
  • You will feel full quickly and absorb fewer calories—this helps you lose weight.

Before Surgery

What to do Before the Surgery

  • A medical check-up (blood tests, heart exam).
  • Stop smoking and follow special instructions about medicines.
  • Follow rules like not eating or drinking after midnight before surgery.
  • Learn about the surgery and sign a paper saying you understand the risks and agree to go ahead.

RNY Gastric Bypass Benefits

  1. Effective Weight Loss Surgery: Patients typically lose about 60-70% of their excess weight within the first two years after surgery.
  2. Improved Metabolic Health: This weight-loss can help improve or resolve obesity-related health conditions including type-2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, as well as high cholesterol. The weight-loss can also help your body better its blood sugar control and improve its lipid profile.
  3. Improvement of other Obesity health challenges: The weight-loss gastric sleeve surgery provides can improve or reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, joint problems, infertility and certain cancers.
  4. Enhanced Quality of Life: Losing excess weight can improve physical mobility, increase energy levels, enhance self-esteem and body image. These factors contribute to an overall better quality of life.
