Gastric Bypass For Extreme Obesity In Hyderabad

Gastric Bypass

One of the most frequently performed bariatric surgeries is gastric bypass. Gastric bypass is done when diet and exercise don’t help a patient reduce weight. It is also indicated in conditions like gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type two diabetes, stroke, cancer, and infertility.

It can be an option for you if your body mass index is 40 or higher, that is, if you have extreme obesity.

Your surgeon creates a pouch from your stomach and connects the newly created pouch directly to the small intestine.

After gastric bypass, the food enters into the small pouch and then directly to the small bowel and thus bypasses most of your stomach and the first section of the small intestine, and your body does not get the calories from the food you eat, which helps reduce weight.
