GASTRIC BYPASS

Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most effective options for treating obesity and its related comorbidities.
Performed laparoscopically, this minimally invasive procedure helps achieve sustained weight loss and significantly improves conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
What is a Gastric Bypass?
Gastric bypass is a surgical procedure that divides the stomach into two sections and connects the upper part directly to the small intestine, creating a new digestive pathway.
This results in a smaller stomach and reduced calorie absorption, promoting effective and long-term weight loss.
Patients feel satisfied with smaller portions and experience positive metabolic improvements, contributing to better control of obesity-related diseases.


Indications for Gastric Bypass
This procedure is mainly indicated for patients who present:
-
Obesity with a high Body Mass Index (BMI)
-
Metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes or dyslipidemia
-
Chronic gastroesophageal reflux not controlled with medical treatment
