Types of Weight Loss Surgery Performed
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.
