Gastric Bypass

There are two Gastric bypass surgery options:

Creation of a small stomach pouch

The stomach is divided into a large portion, and a much smaller portion. The small part of the stomach is then sewn or stapled together to make a small pouch (this part is sometimes called ” stomach stapling”). The small stomach pouch can only hold a cup or so of food.

Roux-en-Y” creation

The new small stomach pouch is disconnected from the first part of the small intestine (the duodenum). The surgeon then reconnects the stomach to a portion of intestine slightly further down (the jejunum).

After a roux-en-Y, food passes directly from the stomach into the jejunum, bypassing the duodenum. This leads to reduced absorption of calories and nutrients.

Gastric bypass is performed using tools inserted through small incisions in the belly. When laparoscopy is not possible, gastric bypass can be open preformed by a large incision in the middle of the belly.

You may already have a surgeon or you might be looking at financing options first, either way SurgeryLoans.com can help you understand your options.
