This procedure is the most popular bariatric procedure worldwide.
The Gastric Bypass Surgery performed by Dr. Rumbaut is the Gastric Bypass Roux-en-Y (gastro jejunal bypass) through laparoscopy. In this procedure the stomach is reduced in size, so that the patient will be satisfied with a smaller amount of food, and the distance in which the food is in contact with the small intestine is reduced thus reducing absorption of calories by the body. These two factors cause a greater reduction in the overall weight loss.
How does the Gastric Bypass work?
When you eat food your pouch fills faster than normal and stretches the outer walls of the stomach, sending a satiety signal to the brain.
Food then passes from the stomach to the second section of the intestine decreasing caloric absorption.
The body assumes that the first section of the intestine is full of food and sends hunger reduction signals.
