Gastric Bypass
At Damas Medical Center we understand the toll that morbid obesity can take, and the yearning for a renewed sense of well-being. Gastric Bypass Surgery, a life-changing procedure, can be the key to unlocking a healthier, more confident you.
Beyond the Scale: A Brighter, Healthier Future
While weight loss is a significant outcome, Gastric Bypass Surgery offers a multitude of benefits that can improve your overall well-being:
- Improved Health: Experience a significant reduction in the risk of obesity-related conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and sleep apnea, allowing you to live a life less burdened by health concerns.
- Renewed Energy: Imagine a life where you have the energy to do the things you love – from playing with your children or grandchildren to pursuing hobbies you might have once considered too challenging.
- Long-Term Success: Gastric Bypass Surgery boasts higher rates of long-term weight loss compared to other bariatric procedures, helping you achieve lasting results.
A Tailored Approach to Significant Weight Loss
Gastric Bypass Surgery is a procedure that alters the digestive system, promoting significant and lasting weight loss. Here's how it works:
- \Advanced Laparoscopic Techniques: Our surgeons utilize small incisions and sophisticated laparoscopic techniques to minimize invasiveness and promote faster recovery times.
- Restricting the Stomach: A portion of the stomach is removed, creating a smaller pouch that limits food intake and promotes satiety – the feeling of fullness.
- Rerouting the Small Intestine: This creates a bypass that restricts the amount of nutrients absorbed by the body, further aiding weight loss.
Who Can Benefit from Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Gastric Bypass Surgery is a major procedure and is typically recommended for individuals with:
- Morbid Obesity: A Body Mass Index (BMI) of 40 or higher.
- Morbid Obesity with Complications: A BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related complications like type 2 diabetes.
