Gastric Bypass Surgery
(Roux-en-Y) 

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery is one of the most commonly performed and effective weight loss procedures globally. Recognized as the gold standard of bariatric surgery, it provides a safe and lasting solution for those struggling with obesity and its related health conditions.

Gastric Bypass Surgery Roux-en-Y Procedure

This procedure involves creating a small stomach pouch, about 30 ml in size, which serves as the new stomach.

  1. How It Works:

    • The small intestine is divided and attached to the new stomach pouch (upper connection).
    • Food bypasses the larger stomach and the first section of the small intestine, directly entering the newly connected small intestine.
    • Around one meter further along, a lower connection is created to allow digestive juices from the main stomach and pancreas to mix with food.

  2. Expected Outcome:

    • A significantly smaller stomach restricts food intake, leading to a feeling of fullness after consuming smaller portions.
    • Patients typically lose 70-80% of excess body weight.

  3. Surgical Technique:

    • The surgery is minimally invasive and performed laparoscopically.
    • It requires five small incisions, through which a camera and surgical instruments are inserted.
    • The entire procedure is conducted from outside the body, lasting about one hour in experienced hands.

Testimonials

The major factor behind getting my procedure was that I couldn't get up off the floor with my grandson. That was my big cause for having this surgery done. After procedure, it was a little bit of a struggle with the food choice. But now, you don’t even think about what you put in your mouth, how you're eating and portion size. The surgery has transformed my life in so many ways. It saved me.

Everybody treated me great at Nords Polyclinic. The day of surgery, I was nervous. I went in for surgery. An hour later, I came out a new man. My recovery went well. I was out of bed that day. I’m happy I took this decision.
Amir
I knew if I didn't change something soon, I was going to be in a lot of trouble. The consultation process was a lot easier than I expected. I was treated like I was the only patient at Nords Polyclinic. Dr. Almantas answered all my questions, but also had questions for me to make sure I was the right candidate for the surgery. After surgery weight started dropping off, my life started changing for the better.
