For individuals struggling with severe obesity, especially when diet, exercise, and non-surgical interventions have not provided lasting results, Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y) offers a highly effective surgical weight loss solution. This procedure not only reduces stomach size but also reroutes a portion of the digestive system, helping patients achieve significant and sustained weight loss. At Fertilis, we provide comprehensive care and modern facilities for safe and successful gastric bypass surgery.

What is Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)?

Gastric Bypass is a bariatric surgery that involves two key steps:

1. Creating a small stomach pouch to limit food intake

2. Rerouting the small intestine to reduce calorie and nutrient absorption

This combination leads to rapid weight loss, appetite reduction, and improvements in obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.

Who is a Candidate for Gastric Bypass?

Gastric Bypass is recommended for individuals who:

• Have a BMI ≥ 40, or BMI ≥ 35 with obesity-related health conditions

• Have not achieved sustained weight loss through diet, exercise, or non-surgical methods

• Are committed to long-term lifestyle changes including diet and exercise

• Seek significant and sustained weight loss with medical supervision

Gastric Bypass Procedure

1. Pre-Surgical Assessment:
Patients undergo a detailed medical evaluation, including blood tests, imaging, and consultation with a bariatric surgeon to ensure suitability for surgery.

2. Surgery:
Performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia, the procedure involves:

• Creating a small stomach pouch

• Rerouting a portion of the small intestine (Roux-en-Y)

• Connecting the new stomach pouch to the rerouted intestine, bypassing the majority of the stomach and upper small intestine

3. Recovery:
Patients typically stay in the hospital for 2–3 days, with gradual reintroduction of liquids and soft foods. Fertilis provides detailed dietary guidance and support during recovery.

4. Long-Term Follow-Up:
Weight loss continues for 12–18 months post-surgery. Regular follow-ups ensure nutritional adequacy, lifestyle adherence, and monitoring of health improvements.

Expected Results

• Significant and sustained weight loss, often 60–80% of excess body weight

• Rapid improvement or resolution of obesity-related health conditions

• Reduced appetite and better portion control

• Improved quality of life and physical mobility
