Gastric Bypass
What is gastric bypass?
Gastric bypass surgery is a bariatric weight loss procedure where a surgeon reduces the size of your stomach and alters your small intestine to minimize the amount of food you need to feel full. You will also absorb fewer calories from the food you eat than before the procedure. Gastric bypass surgery at Inspire Bariatrics is the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) procedure. Inspire Bariatrics uses the da Vinci Xi Robotic System to perform RYGB.
Dr. Peery's Advice
“Gastric bypass has stood the test of time better than many other bariatric procedures. While some older techniques have fallen out of favor due to complications, gastric bypass continues to offer reliable results. Patients can often return home the day after surgery and resume normal activities within a few weeks. By following guidelines and attending regular follow-ups, patients can maximize their results and minimize complications. Daily supplementation with vitamins and minerals is also crucial to prevent deficiencies. Despite its risks, gastric bypass remains a top choice for many patients seeking long-term weight loss and health improvements.”
