About Gastric Bypass
Gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y) creates a small stomach pouch and bypasses a section of the small intestine. This dual mechanism reduces food intake and nutrient absorption, resulting in 70-80% excess weight loss within 18 months.
Gastric bypass is considered the gold standard for weight loss surgery, particularly effective for patients with type 2 diabetes, as it can lead to diabetes remission in 80% of cases. Turkish bariatric centers offer this complex procedure with excellent outcomes.
The laparoscopic procedure takes 1.5-2 hours under general anesthesia, with a 3-4 night hospital stay. Full recovery takes 4-6 weeks, with dietary changes progressing over 8 weeks from liquids to normal foods.
