Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
We consider the Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass to be the best operation for morbid obesity. The Roux-en-Y gastric bypass combines both restriction and malabsorption to optimize both weight loss and improve co-morbidities. It is considered to be the "gold standard" of obesity surgery, or the benchmark to which other bariatric operations are compared. The laparoscopic surgical approach provides the benefits of less pain and discomfort and quicker recovery.

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
