Types of Weight Loss Surgery Performed Roux-en-Y Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass The minimally invasive Roux-en-Y laparoscopic procedure used at the Deaconess Surgical Weight Loss Center is preferred for several reasons. Instead of an open incision, the surgeon works through four or five "ports," or small openings. This type of operation reduces operative risk, shortens hospital stay and helps the patients recover more quickly without unsightly scarring The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass creates a tiny pouch at the top of the stomach and a segment of small intestine is connected to the stomach pouch. This type of surgery limits how much a person can eat. Usually after a few bites, a person feels full. The procedure also limits absorption of calories, which leads to the desired weight loss. Following surgery, patients should not consume sugars or excess fat because they are not processed well by the small intestine. An unpleasant reaction can occur, called the "dumping syndrome." Our dietitian can help patients avoid this by coaching them through suitable meal choices. In the educational process at the Deaconess Surgical Weight Loss Center, patients learn about healthy eating before and after surgery. They learn what type of food will be most beneficial them and what vitamins will ensure optimal health.
