You can expect significant weight loss from the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, which is designed to make your stomach much smaller. By enabling food to bypass much of the stomach and part of the small intestine, you’ll find yourself getting full more quickly, with less desire to eat, helping you keep the weight off for years to come.
Roux-en-Y can be performed laparoscopically (minimally invasively) resulting in less pain and scarring, and a faster recovery time, than traditional surgery.
