Gastric Bypass

Gastric bypass surgery is a transformative procedure that reroutes the digestive tract to aid significant weight loss and improve conditions such as diabetes and reflux. This surgery has a proven track record of delivering effective long-term results.

Gastric bypass involves two main types: Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) and One Anastomosis (Omega Loop) Gastric Bypass (OAGB). Both procedures are performed using minimally invasive techniques, often referred to as keyhole surgery, which helps reduce recovery time and minimise discomfort.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)

  • Procedure Overview: Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) is a well-established weight loss surgery that reduces the size of the stomach and reroutes the small intestine to limit calorie and nutrient absorption.
  • Key Benefits: Promotes significant, sustained weight loss.
    Improves or resolves conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Reduces hunger and enhances satiety through changes in gut hormones.
  • Surgical Approach: Minimally invasive, keyhole surgery with small incisions. Shorter recovery time and reduced post-operative discomfort.
  • Long-Term Results: Proven track record of long-term effectiveness in weight loss and health improvement. Patients often experience enhanced quality of life and better management of comorbidities.

One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB)

  • Procedure Overview: One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB), also known as Omega Loop Gastric Bypass, is a simplified variation of the traditional gastric bypass. A small stomach pouch is created, and the small intestine is rerouted with a single connection.
  • Key Benefits: Effective weight loss and improvement of metabolic health, including type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure.
    Shorter procedure time and fewer complications compared to traditional gastric bypass.
    Faster recovery and minimal scarring due to minimally invasive techniques.
  • Surgical Approach: Performed using laparoscopic (keyhole) surgery, leading to less trauma and faster healing.
    Single anastomosis reduces complexity and surgery time.
  • Long-Term Results: Effective in achieving significant and lasting weight loss.
    Patients experience improved overall health, including better metabolic function and reduced obesity-related conditions.
