Gastric bypass surgery
Gastric bypass surgery is the surgical treatment of obesity by reducing the volume of the stomach and changing the way food passes through the digestive system.
Obesity is a serious chronic disease that leads to a variety of complications, including diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system.
The procedure of gastric bypass surgery consists in creating a small gastric sac and redirecting food into the small intestine, so that it bypasses most of the stomach and duodenum. This reduces the amount of food consumed and reduces calorie absorption. Gastric bypass surgery is indicated for patients with a BMI of 40 and above or with a BMI of 35 and above in the presence of concomitant diseases. Successful treatment requires a comprehensive approach, including lifestyle changes, diet and medical supervision.

Gastric bypass surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdominal cavity and inserts a laparoscope and special instruments. Then a small yolk sac is created, which connects to the small intestine, bypassing most of the stomach and duodenum. The procedure lasts about 1-3 hours.
After gastric bypass surgery, the patient spends from 2 to 7 days in the hospital. In the first weeks after surgery, it is recommended to follow a liquid and soft diet, gradually switching to more solid foods. Full recovery takes about 4-6 weeks. Regular consultations with a nutritionist and a psychologist help you adapt to new eating habits and lifestyle.
