Surgical Weight Loss
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass method for weight loss is one of the most common type of bariatric surgery and renowned for its effectiveness in weight loss. This procedure is performed laparoscopically and involves creating a small pouch from the stomach, thereby restricting food intake. Additionally, a segment of the small intestine is bypassed and connected to the newly created pouch, promoting reduced absorption of calories and nutrients. This approach enables lifelong portion control and facilitates significant weight loss. There is marked
improvement in co-morbidities like diabetes after undergoing the procedure.

Before the weight loss procedure, I weighted 137 kg and there were multiple co-morbidities like hypertension and sugar. Now I weigh, 102kg and my target weight is 80kg. I am feeling very nice both physically and mentally. There were absolutely no complications at all and my sugar levels are very much under control now.
