Gastric Bypass
PROCEDURE AS LOW AS $19,900
Also known as the Roux-en-Y, gastric bypass is a weight-loss surgical procedure that involves stapling the stomach to create a smaller pouch. Then this new pouch is connected directly to the lower small intestine, bypassing the main stomach, duodenum, and upper small intestine. As a result, patients eat less and absorb fewer calories. The smaller stomach and bypassing the proximal gastrointestinal tract often lead to successful weight loss in more than 90% of patients. 98% of the time, we can perform the procedure assisted by a robot (Da Vinci) or laparoscopically.
Expected weight loss of 75 percent of the patient’s excess weight. Most patients lose nearly half of their excess weight in the first year following the surgery and continue to lose weight after.
