What Is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Gastric bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, is a bariatric procedure designed to produce significant and sustained weight loss.
The surgery works in three powerful ways:
- Restriction
- Malabsorption
- Hormonal Changes
- Restriction
A small pouch is created at the top of the stomach, limiting how much food you can eat at one time.
- Malabsorption
This combination makes gastric bypass one of the most effective surgical treatments for obesity and type 2 diabetes.

Gastric Bypass Surgery In Tijuana
- It puts a limit on your food intake. Much like a gastric sleeve procedure, gastric bypass reduces the size of your stomach. After a successful gastric bypass procedure, your stomach will only be able to hold about a cupful of food, making you feel full with less food.
- It reduces your absorption of calories. A gastric bypass procedure creates a direct food route from your stomach to the lower part of your small intestine, resulting in lower caloric absorption.
- It cuts down on the production of ghrelin. This is the hormone that makes us feel hungry. By rerouting the small intestine, the production of this hunger hormone is reduced, resulting in decreased cravings and appetite.
