What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Gastric bypass surgery is a method that both restricts food intake and reduces the absorption of food taken at the same time. It is still the most common type of combined surgeries.

In this operation, the upper part of the stomach is reduced by approximately 30-50 cc. In the second stage, this small stomach pouch is combined in such a way that some of the small intestines are bypassed. With this method, the patients quickly get a feeling of fullness with much smaller portions. At the same time, the absorption of the nutrients taken is decreased.

Patients that have gastric Bypass both eat less food and take less calories due to the reduction of the stomach, and the direct transition from the remaining small stomach to the small intestine provides a decrease in the absorption of high-calorie food intake. Thus, weight loss happens.

Since the food we eat after this surgery passes directly to the ileum, which is the second part of our small intestines, various hormones are secreted more, and these hormones cause more insulin hormones from our pancreatic gland. Therefore, Gastric Bypass surgery is preferred for people with obesity and Type-2 Diabetes.

Gastric Bypass surgery is also performed under laparoscopic technic method. The operation takes about two hours, and the patient will be able to stand up in the 4th hour after the operation and manage to do his/her own needs.
