Roux-en-Y Divided Gastric Bypass (RYDGB)
Roux-en-Y Divided Stomach Bypass is recognized by the NIH Consensus Report for its effective treatment of clinically severe obesity. This is the procedure favored by Midwest Bariatric Center due to the low complication rate and long term, proven results in achieving weight loss. This procedure combines a gastric restrictive operation with slow gastric emptying. It provides a lifelong tool for the patient for dealing with clinically severe obesity. It has the highest long term success with low rates of mortality, complications and failures. Midwest Bariatric Center is convinced the Roux-en-Y Divided Gastric Bypass is currently the "gold standard" in the surgical treatment of clinically severe obesity. This procedure provides an effective loss of 50 to 80 percent of excess weight. In most cases, this is enough weight loss to reduce the life threatening dangers which come with co-morbid conditions.

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
