Procedure Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass is a bariatric surgery that combines restriction and malabsorption techniques to promote weight loss. The procedure is performed laparoscopically and involves the creation of a small gastric pouch, separated from the rest of the stomach, and its direct connection to the small intestine (Schauer et al., 2017).
This redirection prevents food from passing through much of the stomach and small intestine, thus decreasing the absorption of calories and nutrients.

Indications
Gastric bypass surgery is indicated in patients with a body mass index (BMI) greater than or equal to 35 kg/m², or greater than or equal to 30 kg/m² with obesity-related comorbidities, such as type 2 diabetes, arterial hypertension, sleep apnea, and cardiovascular disease.
(SAGES, 2018)
In addition, patients must have tried unsuccessfully to lose weight through lifestyle changes and medical treatments.
There are absolute and relative contraindications for gastric bypass surgery. Absolute contraindications include the presence of uncontrolled psychiatric disorders, substance abuse, and noncompliance with previous medical recommendations.
Relative contraindications include serious diseases unrelated to obesity, such as active cancer, and previous abdominal surgeries that make the procedure difficult to perform.

Complications and Follow-up
Despite its benefits, gastric bypass can have complications. Among the most common are anastomotic leakage, stricture, and ulcers in the gastric pouch or intestine.
(Buchwald et al., 2018).
- Due to malabsorption of nutrients, patients may develop vitamin and mineral deficiencies, requiring long-term medical and nutritional follow-up (Mechanick et al., 2013).
- Patients undergoing gastric bypass should follow a specific diet plan and receive education on lifestyle changes to ensure the success of the procedure and avoid complications.
- Despite these risks, the rate of serious complications is low, around 2-5% (Gagner, 2016). It is important that patients are aware of these risks and discuss concerns with their medical team before undergoing the procedure.
What our Patients say
Questions Frequent
Gastric bypass is a type of weight loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine. This bypass bypasses the rest of the stomach and part of the small intestine, reducing the amount of food the body can absorb. Surgery is usually used as a last resort in severely obese people who have been unable to lose weight with diet and exercise.
The risks of gastric bypass surgery include infections, blood clots, leakage from the surgical site and nutritional deficiencies. Other risks include gallstones, hernias and dumping syndrome.
The benefits of gastric bypass surgery include significant weight loss, better health and improved quality of life.
It usually takes 4 to 6 weeks to recover from gastric bypass surgery.
The success rate of gastric bypass surgery is generally high, with studies showing that up to 80% of patients achieve significant weight loss.
The long-term effects of gastric bypass surgery may include improved health, increased energy levels and improved quality of life. However, there are also potential risks, such as nutritional deficiencies, gallstones and hernias.
After gastric bypass, patients are usually advised to follow a diet rich in protein and low in carbohydrates and fats. This diet should include small, frequent meals and snacks throughout the day. Patients should also avoid sugary and processed foods and carbonated beverages. In addition, they should avoid large meals, as they can cause nausea and vomiting. Finally, patients should drink plenty of fluids to stay hydrated.
