The gastric bypass weight loss surgery is an immediate solution for those who are looking to lose weight fast.
(also known as the Roux-en-Y) a combination procedure using both restrictive and malabsorptive elements. With this surgery, first the stomach is stapled to make a smaller pouch. Then most of the stomach and part of the intestines are bypassed by attaching (usually stapling) a part of the intestine to the small stomach pouch. The result is that you cannot eat as much, and you absorb fewer nutrients and calories.
• Rapid initial weight loss • Minimally invasive approach is possible • Longer experience in the U.S. • Higher total average weight loss However, a review of published studies showed many laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) and bypass patients achieve comparable weight loss at 3 years and beyond (55% for LAGB and 58% for standard RYGB)
Risks of this surgery are:
Mortality rate: 0.5% Total complications: 23% Major complications: 2%
