GASTRIC BYPASS RNY VIDEO, FULL SURGERY

Gastric bypass RNY (Roux-en-Y) is a common type of bariatric or weight-loss surgery designed to aid in excess weight loss by altering the digestive system. The procedure involves creating a small stomach pouch from the upper part of the stomach, which is then directly connected to the small intestine, bypassing a large portion of the stomach and the first section of the small intestine (the duodenum).


This results in two key changes:

  1. Restriction: The smaller stomach pouch reduces the amount of food you can eat, making you feel full more quickly.
  2. Malabsorption: By bypassing part of the small intestine, the body absorbs fewer calories and nutrients from food.

This in combination with hormonal changes (hunger and satiety regulation) helps patients lose significant weight, improve obesity-related health conditions (like type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea and other), and maintain long-term weight loss. The procedure is typically done laparoscopically under general anaesthesia, with a faster recovery and lower risk of complications compared to open surgery.
