Robotic-Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass
The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass procedure is considered the "gold standard" weight loss approach for patients who have a BMI over 40. It is a wonderful way to remove excess weight and restore health.
During the Gastric Bypass procedure, a small pouch in the stomach is created and attached directly to the small intestine to limit food intake. This allows food to bypass the lower stomach and the first segment of the small intestine, resulting in reduced fat absorption and rapid weight loss.
This procedure is done laparoscopically at Lite Life Surgery, involving small incisions instead of a large surgical scar. Advantages of this procedure include less bleeding, reduced recovery time, decreased pain, and fewer chances of complications.
