Overview
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is a laparoscopic bariatric operation that creates a small stomach pouch and connects it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large part of the stomach and duodenum. This both restricts food intake and reduces calorie and nutrient absorption, leading to substantial, sustained weight loss and frequent improvement or remission of type 2 diabetes. It is one of the most established bariatric procedures worldwide. Patients require lifelong vitamin and mineral supplementation and nutritional follow-up.
