Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass has been the gold standard of bariatric surgery for decades. It creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the small intestine, offering powerful and durable weight loss.

• Substantial, sustained weight loss
• Outstanding resolution of diabetes and acid reflux
• Decades of proven safety data

The surgeon creates a small pouch from the top of the stomach and connects it to a Y-shaped section of the small intestine, bypassing part of the stomach and duodenum.

Comprehensive pre-op assessment, nutritional counselling and a liver-reduction diet.

2–4 day hospital stay, gradual diet progression and lifelong vitamin and mineral supplementation.

Risks include dumping syndrome, nutritional deficiencies and internal hernia, minimised through expert technique and follow-up.
