GASTRIC BYPASS

In gastric bypass surgeries, a large part of the stomach is bypassed and a small volume (approximately 30-50 cc) stomach section is prepared and sewn to the small intestines.

In this surgery, it is aimed both to reduce the volume of the stomach, as in other obesity surgeries, and to disable a part of the intestines so that some of the food consumed is excreted without being absorbed. In this way, patients not only get full with less food, but also some of the food they take is absorbed.
