Gastric Bypass

Southwest Bariatric Surgeons understand how difficult it can be to lose weight, especially for those struggling with obesity. Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most commonly performed bariatric surgeries and is highly effective for weight loss.

We offer gastric bypass surgery as a treatment option for patients struggling with obesity. Our experienced surgeons are committed to providing our patients with compassionate care and the highest quality treatment options for gastric bypass surgery and other types of weight loss surgery.

Gastric bypass surgery is a surgical weight loss procedure that involves creating a small stomach pouch and reconnecting the small intestine to this pouch. This limits the amount of food that can be consumed and alters the digestive process, leading to weight loss.

Gastric bypass surgery offers several benefits to patients struggling with obesity, including:

1. Significant weight loss: Gastric bypass surgery can result in significant weight loss, leading to improved health outcomes.
2. Improved health: Weight loss surgery can improve or even resolve many obesity-related health issues, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
3. Improved quality of life: Patients often report improved quality of life, including increased energy, improved mobility, and a better overall sense of well-being.

Southwest Bariatric Surgeons uses the da Vinci robotic surgery system to perform gastric bypass surgery. The da Vinci system is a state-of-the-art surgical technology allowing greater precision, control, and visualization during surgery. This results in a shorter hospital stay, less pain, and a faster recovery time for the patient.

During the procedure, the surgeon will make small incisions in the abdomen and insert robotic instruments and a camera. The surgeon will then control the robotic instruments from a console in the operating room, allowing for greater precision and control during the surgery.

Gastric bypass surgery works by limiting the amount of food that can be consumed and altering the digestive process. During the procedure, the surgeon will create a small stomach pouch by stapling a portion of the stomach. The small intestine is then reconnected to this pouch, bypassing a portion of the stomach and the upper part of the small intestine. This limits the amount of food that can be consumed and reduces the absorption of calories and nutrients.
