Robotic-Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass
The Roux-En-Y Gastric bypass procedure is considered the “Gold Standard” weight loss surgery for patients who have a BMI (Body Mass Index) above 35, representing about 75 pounds over the ideal body weight.
This procedure creates a small pouch (1-2 ounces in size) from the stomach and attaches it to the small intestine, bypassing the stomach altogether and reducing the amount of food that can be consumed along with the amount of nutrients that are absorbed — triggering hormonal and metabolic changes that result in rapid and efficient weight loss.
This procedure is performed ROBOTICALLY utilizing a minimally invasive approach of 4 to 5 small incisions across the stomach area leading to enhanced precision, less bleeding, reduced recovery time, decreased pain, and a much lower risk of complications.
