Roux Y Gastric Bypass in Mumbai
Understanding Roux Y Gastric Bypass
Roux Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) is one of the most established bariatric surgeries worldwide. It works by creating a smaller stomach pouch and rerouting a part of the small intestine, helping patients eat less and absorb fewer calories. This dual mechanism promotes significant weight loss and powerful improvement in obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
- Minimally invasive laparoscopic or robotic procedure
- Small stomach pouch created for portion control
- Intestinal rerouting for reduced calorie absorption
- Strong track record for long-term weight loss success

What Difference Does Roux Y Gastric Bypass Create?

Many patients find they can enjoy meals without overeating, walk longer distances with ease, or stop relying on daily medications for diabetes or hypertension. Everyday life feels lighter, energy levels rise, and confidence returns. It’s more than a surgery - it’s a new lease on life.

Let’s explore if Roux Y gastric Bypass is the right solution for you
- BMI ≥40, or BMI ≥35 with health conditions such as diabetes or sleep apnea
- Unsuccessful attempts at non-surgical weight loss

How Does This Procedure Work for Weight Loss?
Roux Y Gastric Bypass combines restriction, malabsorption, and hormonal changes for long-lasting effects. A smaller stomach pouch restricts food intake, while intestinal rerouting reduces calorie absorption. Hormonal changes further support appetite control and metabolic improvements.
Restricts food intake
Smaller pouch limits meal size
Reduces calorie absorption
Intestinal bypass decreases nutrient uptake
Improves metabolism
Hormonal changes enhance blood sugar control
Supports long-term success
Significant weight loss sustained for years
