laparoscopic gastric bypass

Laparoscopic gastric bypass is a minimally invasive weight-loss surgery that helps reduce hunger and calorie absorption. The surgeon makes small cuts in the abdomen and inserts a camera and specialized instruments. They create a small pouch from the stomach, connecting it directly to a lower part of the small intestine. This limits food intake and decreases calorie absorption, leading to weight loss. The procedure typically results in significant weight reduction, improved health conditions, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
