Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) pronounced “roo-en-why” is the most commonly performed weight-loss procedure. It has been in practice for more than 30 years and provides an excellent balance of weight loss and manageable side effects. The operation can be performed laparoscopically (small incisions to the abdomen) or robotically (computer-assisted surgery used to aid in surgical procedures).
Restriction: The surgeon separates the upper portion of the stomach from the lower portion. The upper portion (or the “pouch”) is then connected to a limb of the small intestine, called the “Rouxlimb.” The new stomach pouch restricts the amount of food you can eat, making you feel full after eating only a small amount of food.
Mal-Absorbtion: Once the smaller pouch is created, the surgeon reroutes your digestive system to bypass the larger part of your stomach and part of your small intestine. The result of the bypass is you absorb fewer calories and nutrients from the food you eat (mal-absorption).
