Gastric Bypass

Introduction to Gastric Bypass

Gastric Bypass Surgery helps to make the stomach smaller and allows the food to bypass the small intestine. This reduces the amount of food intake. Bypassing a small part of the intestine can also help in reducing a few calories.
The Roux- en -Y Gastric bypass is the most common kind of Gastric Bypass surgery that is done.

Procedure for Gastric Bypass
During the gastric bypass, (Roux-en-Y bypass), the stomach is reduced by creating a small pouch using surgical staples or plastic band, on top of the stomach. The modus operandi is by making a large incision in the abdomen (an open procedure) or by making a small incision and using small instruments and a camera to guide the surgery (laparoscopic approach).nowadays, more and more surgeons use laporoscopic technology that results in smaller cuts, less pain and scars and a faster recovery time.

Length of Gastric Bypass

A gastric Bypass surgery generally takes 2 to 3 hours. A patient has to stay in the hospital for 4 to 6 days and for those who have laporoscopic surgery, it takes 2 to 3 days to get discharged.

Hospitals offers the latest technology and appoints expert specialized doctors for the diagnostic, medical and surgical facilities for Gastric Bypass.
