Types of Weight Loss Surgery Performed Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass We offer the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass as an effective surgical treatment option. During the surgery, the stomach is divided and a small stomach "pouch" is created. The intestines are rerouted so that food bypasses the lower portion of the stomach and the first portion of the small intestine. The procedure limits the amount of food a person can eat at one time. By rerouting the intestines, food absorption is altered. Patients who undergo gastric bypass generally lose 70 to 80 percent of their excess weight. More importantly, most patients achieve better health and a new outlook for a better future.
