Gastric bypass surgery, also called Roux-en-Y or RNY gastric bypass, is a common weight loss procedure which reduces the size of the stomach and the length of the small intestine.
The procedure involves creating a small pouch in the stomach, which can hold approximately 40 ml of food, and connecting it to the lower part of the small intestine. Food then passes from the esophagus to the small stomach pouch, and then into the intestine.
Gastric bypass surgery limits the amount of food that can be eaten, leaving the patient feeling full and satisfied quickly. As the food bypasses most of the stomach and the first part of the intestine, the digestive system can’t absorb all the calories from the food that is eaten, further reducing calorific intake and resulting in weight loss.
