What is a gastric bypass, and how does it work?
A Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a surgery that creates a small stomach pouch (30–50 ml) and connects it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a section of it. Weight loss is accelerated by both volume restriction and food meeting digestive hormones in a different segment of the intestine.
Why might it be more effective than a gastric sleeve?
Thanks to the intestinal bypass, it suppresses ghrelin hormone production more and breaks insulin resistance much faster. It has a stronger effect at very high BMI values and in diabetes. It achieves an average of 65–75% excess weight loss.
"Our goal is not a 'done' look, but a natural, balanced and lasting result that is truly yours."
Why is it preferred for type 2 diabetes?
After a gastric bypass, type 2 diabetes remission (blood sugar control without medication) can reach up to 80%. This effect begins within days to weeks of surgery, independent of weight loss; the early change in gut hormones is the main mechanism.
