Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (Open and Laparoscopic)

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (Open)
Several options exist in Bariatric Surgery. We've chosen the Roux-en-Y procedure because of what we feel it offers to our patients. This operation diminishes the stomach volume to the size of an egg, and reroutes the small intestines in a way that decreases absorption of the food you do eat. There are two ways to do the procedure. One is an "open" procedure where an incision is made in the upper abdomen. If you've had previous abdominal surgery, several children, or have other conditions that may complicate your surgery, this may be your best option.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (Laparoscopic)
The other is a "laparoscopic" procedure that uses several smaller incisions in different locations over your abdomen, and a camera to let us see what is going on inside. We do the surgery with special instruments that go through the small incisions we make. We will decide whether your surgery should be open or laparoscopic together.

Laparoscopic or open bariatric surgery, such as gastric banding or bypass is not an easy solution to morbid obesity and weight loss. It is a serious surgical procedure, involving health risks. To produce lasting weight loss it requires a long-term patient commitment to eating a healthy diet and following a regular program of physical exercise. Life-long use of nutritional supplements may also be necessary. So, before deciding, discuss your options fully with your doctor. © 2003-2008 Bariatric-Surgery.Info - Terms - Contact - Information - Resources - Add URL
