Gastric Bypass

In gastric bypass surgery; most of the stomach is eliminated. The stomach is connected to the esophagus from above and to the small intestine from below. In gastric bypass surgery, the small intestine is tied after the stomach's 25-30 ml portion after the esophagus. In this way, the stomach volume is reduced to 25-30 ml. Almost all digestive products that normally pass from the stomach to the intestine are absorbed back into the body. Water, sugar, oils, minerals, and vitamins are among these substances. In gastric bypass surgery, the stomach is reduced and the space required for re-absorption from the intestines is reduced and substances such as sugar and fat are prevented from entering the body. Although there are some advantages of gastric bypass surgery, the disadvantage is that more mineral and vitamin deficiencies can be seen in patients after sleeve gastrectomy.

This is because that the absorption of nutrients from the small intestine is prevented by gastric bypass surgery. Therefore, people should be monitored more closely for these vitamins and trace element deficiencies after surgery. There are types of gastric bypass surgeries such as Roux-y gastric bypass and mini-gastric bypass and various operations such as a duodenal switch that can be added to these. All are based on the mechanisms of shrinking the stomach and reducing absorption from the small intestine. The specialist doctors of our obesity center, and especially the general surgeon who is the team leader, will decide together with you which surgery will be suitable for you.
