Obesity Surgery

Gastric Bypass (Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass)

Gastric Bypass, as a surgical procedure that has been applied for more than 20 years, is especially applied to reduce the mixing of carbohydrate and fatty foods from the intestines to the blood.

How Does Gastric Bypass Surgery Work?

In Morbid Obese people, the first response that occurs with small amounts of food after Gastric Bypass surgery is the stretching of the stomach wall, which remains in the size of a “cup”, and the transmission of the “satiety signal” to the brain that the stomach is full.

Ultimately, weight loss is aimed in Morbid Obesity patients who feel full with less food and decrease the amount of calories taken from the intestine to mix with the blood. In order for Gastric Bypass surgery to be successful, the Morbid Obese patient should also eat “only in the main meals” and avoid snacking between meals.

What Changes with Gastric Bypass?

Diabetes Mellitus, which may occur in people due to Morbid Obesity, improves 85% after Gastric Bypass surgery. Due to the improvement in Type 2 Diabetes after Gastric Bypass surgery, the dependence of patients on insulin and or drugs can be completely eliminated.
Essential Hypertension is present in almost all individuals with Morbid Obesity, and after Gastric Bypass surgery, Hypertension Disease improves or the need for medication decreases in more than 85% of patients.
Hyperlipidemia is present in almost all morbid patients and improves in more than 70% of patients after Gastric Bypass surgery.
Sleep apnea that develops in all patients with Morbid Obesity improves almost 100% immediately after the operation. It is one of the earliest reversible diseases immediately after surgery.
All mechanical back and joint diseases due to morbid obesity can be cured.
Gastro-Esophageal Reflux disease is seen in 20% of Morbid Obese patients. It improves in all patients following Gastric Bypass Surgery.
Morbid obesity paves the way for thrombo-embolic diseases. These risks disappear after the surgery.
Morbid obesity causes reproductive disorders in both sexes. With weight loss after surgery, hormonal irregularities disappear. If the patients have a desire to have a child, women can get pregnant from the end of the 2nd year of the surgery.
