Laparoscopic Gastric By-Pass (R-YGB) surgery is the most common type of combined surgery. Gastric Bypass is one of the methods that draws attention with its successful results in bariatric surgery. With this surgery, while the stomach volume is reduced, the absorption of nutrients decreases because the path traveled in the small intestine is shortened.

The part at the beginning of the stomach is separated from the rest, leaving about 30-50 cc. A part of the small intestines is also bypassed and connected to the newly formed small stomach. In this way, patients reach the feeling of fullness quickly with much smaller portions. At the same time, the absorption of a significant part of the high-calorie foods taken is prevented.

Effective and permanent weight loss is achieved with Laparoscopic Gastric By-Pass (R-YGB) surgery. Similar to volume-restricting surgeries, patients reach a feeling of fullness quickly with much smaller portions due to the reduced new stomach.

The patient can lose 40-50% of his total weight. In this way, they can lead a more fit, healthy and flexible life. The disadvantages are that it may be necessary to use drugs for a long time, perhaps for life.

After the patient is admitted to the hospital on the day of surgery, his preparations are completed and he is taken into surgery. The operation takes an average of 90 – 120 minutes and the patient returns to bed in a total of 5-6 hours. Our patients, who start walking within 6-8  hours, do not complain of serious pain afterwards.

Patients who can drink water on the 1st day after the surgery continue their fluid intake by passing the necessary tests as of the 2nd and 3rd days and they leave the hospital on the 4th day.
