ROUX en Y Gastric Bypass - RYGB

Laparoscopic Roux en Y Gastric Bypass procedure is a
weight loss surgery that involves the creation of a small
stomach pouch with the help of staples that restrict food
intake. In addition the initial segment of the small intestine
is bypassed.

As a result the food directly enters the jejunum. This leads
to malabsorption of consumed food. This procedure also
eliminates the hunger-inducing hormone “Ghrelin”. All
these mechanisms contribute to significant weight loss

“It can also be successful in control of type II diabetes in the short/long term”
