Experience the gold standard of bariatric surgery at remarkable value in Turkey’s premier medical destination.
Understanding Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass) is the most proven and effective bariatric procedure, combining stomach restriction with malabsorption to achieve dramatic weight loss and metabolic improvement. This sophisticated surgery creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the small intestine, resulting in reduced food intake and decreased calorie absorption.
The procedure involves creating a small stomach pouch (approximately 1-2 ounces) from the upper stomach, dividing the small intestine and connecting it to the new pouch (Roux limb), and reconnecting the remaining intestine further down to maintain digestive function while reducing absorption.
This dual-mechanism approach provides superior weight loss compared to restrictive-only procedures while offering excellent resolution of obesity-related health conditions including diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. The procedure has been refined over decades with proven long-term safety and effectiveness.
