What is gastric bypass and how does it work?
Let’s start by knowing what gastric bypass is and how it works:
Gastric bypass is a specialized procedure to help people lose weight by modifying the patient’s digestive system. The surgery consists of creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine, avoiding a large part of the stomach and the first section of the small intestine. The result that is achieved is a lower capacity of food consumption by the patient and a lower absorption of calories, which helps a significant weight loss.
This bariatric surgery is usually performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as laparoscopic surgery, which means smaller incisions, less pain and faster recovery. Often, patients experience improvements in diseases that are related to overweight, such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension and sleep apnea.
Preparation
At Lemm Bariatrics, we prioritize patient wellness and safety, taking you by the hand through every step of your surgery. Prior to gastric bypass, you will be thoroughly evaluated to ensure that you meet all the requirements to be a good candidate for the procedure. This includes medical history review, nutritional counseling and preoperative testing.
Procedure
Our expert surgeons will perform the gastric bypass using state-of-the-art laparoscopic equipment. The procedure usually takes between two and three hours, depending on the individual circumstances of each patient.
Recovery
Patients remain in our clinic with all necessary equipment and resources for a short period of time to ensure a successful recovery. Our team provides detailed post-treatment instructions, including diet and physical activity recommendations, to help you adjust to your new lifestyle.
