What Is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) is a minimally invasive weight loss procedure that:
✔ Creates a smaller stomach pouch to limit food intake
✔ Reroutes the digestive system to absorb fewer calories
✔ Reduces hunger hormones, helping control cravings

This gold-standard procedure is especially effective for patients struggling with severe obesity and weight-related conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
