Bariatría Saltillo: Roux-N-Y Gastric Bypass

This type of procedure creates a small stomach pouch and bypasses part of the small intestine. It is performed with multiple mini-incisions. It has the advantage of avoiding a large incision which can break down and a faster recovery than a conventional bypass.

By reducing the food intake and still utilizing the jejunum, patients have a satisfied full feeling with much less intake of food. Studies have shown this procedure to be excellent for long-term weight loss success but requires lifetime patient behavioral changes.
