Gastric Bypass Procedure

What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Gastric Bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is a bariatric surgery that alters the digestive system to limit food intake and nutrient absorption. At Cybele Clinic, we use advanced techniques to ensure safe and successful outcomes for our patients.

How Does Gastric Bypass Promote Weight Loss?

The procedure promotes weight loss through two mechanisms:

  1. Restriction: The new, smaller stomach limits the amount of food you can eat, helping you feel full faster.
  2. Malabsorption: Bypassing a section of the small intestine reduces calorie and nutrient absorption, contributing to weight loss.

At Cybele Clinic, our experienced surgeons ensure the procedure is performed with precision for maximum effectiveness.

Eligibility for Gastric Bypass Surgery

Gastric Bypass is suitable for individuals who:

  • Have a BMI of 40 or higher (or 35 with obesity-related conditions).
  • Have struggled with long-term weight management despite lifestyle changes.
  • Are committed to making the necessary dietary and lifestyle adjustments post-surgery.

The dedicated team at Cybele Clinic evaluates each patient’s health and goals to determine eligibility and tailor a personalized treatment plan.

The Gastric Sleeve Procedure

The surgery typically involves the following steps:

  1. Preparation: Patients undergo medical assessments and follow a pre-surgery diet.
  2. Anesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anesthesia.
  3. Stomach Reshaping: Using laparoscopic techniques, a portion of the stomach is removed, and the remaining part is reshaped into a sleeve.
  4. Closure: The incisions are closed, and patients are moved to recovery.

At Cybele Clinic, we ensure a safe and seamless surgical experience, supported by our expert medical team.

At Cybele Clinic, our skilled surgical team ensures a smooth and safe procedure using state-of-the-art technology.

Dietary Changes After Gastric Bypass Surgery

Post-surgery dietary adjustments are essential for success. These include:

  • Gradual Progression: Starting with liquids and progressing to solid foods.
  • Smaller Portions: Eating smaller, more frequent meals to accommodate the new stomach size.
  • Focus on Nutrition: Prioritizing protein-rich foods and avoiding high-calorie or sugary items.

With guidance from the Cybele Clinic nutritionists, patients adapt smoothly to these changes and achieve sustainable results.

Gastric Bypass and Mental Health

Beyond physical changes, Gastric Bypass positively impacts mental health:

  • Boosted Confidence: A healthier appearance enhances self-esteem.
  • Reduced Anxiety: Improvements in physical health often alleviate stress related to obesity.
  • Renewed Energy: Increased mobility and activity levels contribute to overall well-being.

At Cybele Clinic, our team provides holistic support to help you navigate the emotional aspects of your weight loss journey.
