What Is Gastric BypassSurgery?

Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most effective and proven methods forlong-term weight loss, especially for patients with class III obesity.This procedure has been performed worldwide since 1977 and laparoscopicallysince 1994, making it a well-researched and trusted solution. At AIWA Clinic,we offer state-of-the-art gastric bypass surgery that helps patients overcomeobesity and improve their quality of life.

How Does Gastric Bypass Work?

The surgery is performed laparoscopically, using a video camera and thininstruments inserted through small 1.5 cm incisions. Modern electronic staplescreate a small stomach pouch, which is then connected to the small intestine,bypassing the rest of the stomach and the first third of the small intestine.

The newly created pouch is not a food reservoir—food travels directly tothe small intestine, where digestion begins, and appetite-regulating hormonesare released. These hormones signal the brain about satiation, helping toreduce hunger and support weight loss. The remaining parts of the stomach andintestine continue to produce digestive juices, maintaining the body’s normalmetabolic functions.

Benefits of Gastric Bypass Surgery

• Long-lasting weight loss with a reduction of up to 80% of excess weight within a year.
• Feeling of fullness after consuming small portions.
• Improvement or resolution of obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, joint pain, heartburn, and polycystic ovary syndrome.
• Reduction of cholesterol levels, normalization of blood pressure and glycemic levels, reducing the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction.
• Restoration of self-confidence and improvement of overall well-being.
• No restrictions on physical, professional, or hobby activities.
• Reversibility of the operation, allowing restoration of previous anatomy if necessary.

Mini-Gastric Bypass: AnAlternative Approach

The Mini-Gastric Bypass was first performed in 1997 as a simpler butequally effective method compared to the classic gastric bypass. It involvescreating a longer stomach pouch to minimize the risk of bile reflux into theesophagus. The surgery is completed in a shorter time with a lower risk ofcomplications while achieving similar weight loss outcomes.

Benefits of Mini-Gastric Bypass

• Shorter operation time and reduced risk of surgical complications.
• Sustained long-term weight loss, comparable to classic gastric bypass.
• Effective management of obesity-related diseases  such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension.
• Improved quality of life and enhanced well-being.

Post-Operative Care andRecommendations

To ensure the best possible outcomes and minimize the risk ofcomplications, it is essential to follow these recommendations:

• Take vitamin supplements regularly, including B vitamins, vitamin D, calcium, and, if necessary, iron.
• Conduct regular blood tests to monitor potential  vitamin deficiencies.
• Follow a liquid diet for three weeks after     surgery.
• Maintain regular consultations with a nutrition specialist for ongoing dietary support.
• Consider psychological support to maintain  motivation and cope with lifestyle changes.
• Follow all post-operative instructions from     healthcare professionals to avoid complications.

Gastric bypass surgery is most beneficial for individuals who:

• Are aged 50 or older with class III obesity.
