For those struggling with obesity, bariatric surgery can provide a weight loss solution that can help turn your life around. While bariatric procedures seem risky, there are new techniques that make the surgery safer and less invasive. The Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass surgery is a procedure that minimizes the incisions and surgical tools necessary to provide effective weight loss. Now you can lose the weight and become a healthier person without having to worry about a drastic bariatric surgery.

​

What the Surgery Actually Does

​

A gastric bypass surgery involves dividing the stomach into two sections, a larger pouch and a smaller pouch, in order to bypass food from being consumed. This type of surgery makes it so that less calories and nutrients are being absorbed which is called malabsorption. As a result, the surgery provides significant weight loss to those with poor health due to obesity.

Benefits of the Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Surgery

​

To perform a surgery laparoscopic-ally means to conduct the procedure by inserting a small camera into the surgical site. The camera will project an image of the patient’s organs and surgical tools onto a video screen. During a laparoscopic gastric bypass surgery five or six incisions are made in the abdomen. There is no open surgery and as a result the procedure is remarkably safer. Risk of infection, recovery time and pain after the surgery are significantly reduced. You will also have fewer scars on your body as a result of this type of surgery.
