💊 What Is Gastric Bypass?
Gastric Bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is a type of bariatric (weight-loss) surgery. It works by both:
Reducing stomach size — A small pouch is created at the top of your stomach to hold less food, helping you feel full sooner.
Rerouting digestion — The small intestine is rearranged so that food bypasses part of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine (duodenum). This reduces calorie and nutrient absorption.
🔍 How It Works:
- Creating a Gastric Pouch A small pouch is made from the upper portion of your stomach—about the size of an egg. This limits how much food you can eat.
- Bypassing the Duodenum he small intestine is divided, and the lower part (the jejunum) is connected directly to the new pouch. This means food bypasses the majority of the stomach and the duodenum, reducing calorie absorption.
