Gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y) is a major bariatric operation that permanently changes the digestive anatomy to produce significant, lasting weight loss. The surgeon creates a small stomach pouch roughly the size of an egg and reroutes the small intestine so that food bypasses most of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine. This dual mechanism — restricting how much can be eaten and altering the absorption of calories and nutrients — also triggers powerful hormonal changes that improve type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, and reflux, often within days of surgery. The operation is performed laparoscopically or with robotic assistance through small abdominal incisions under general anaesthesia, and typically takes two to three hours. Most patients stay three to five days in hospital, begin liquids the following day, and progress through dietary stages over six weeks before returning to a regular bariatric-friendly diet.
The bypass performed through several small abdominal incisions using a camera and long instruments, without opening the abdomen — the most widely performed approach for this operation.
