A Proven Path to Sustainable Weight Loss and Better Health
Obesity is one of the fastest-growing health concerns worldwide, with more than 1 in 8 adults classified as obese. For many individuals, diets and exercise alone are not enough to achieve long-term results. Gastric Bypass Surgery (Roux-en-Y) has become one of the most effective bariatric procedures, offering significant weight loss, improved health outcomes, and a renewed quality of life. At Medical Park Hospitals in Turkey, patients benefit from cutting-edge surgical facilities, world-class bariatric surgeons, and comprehensive all-inclusive packages tailored to international patients.
🩺 What Is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
A gastric bypass is a bariatric procedure that reduces the stomach’s functional size and reroutes part of the small intestine to limit calorie absorption. The stomach is divided into two parts — a small pouch that holds food and a larger section that is bypassed. This reduces food intake, alters digestion, and encourages sustained weight loss.
One of the most effective long-term procedures for significant weight loss. The stomach is divided into a small upper pouch, and the small intestine is rerouted.
- Restrictive + malabsorptive method
- Highly effective for diabetes and hypertension
- Reduces nutrient absorption—requires lifelong supplements
Best suited for: Patients with severe obesity and metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes.
✔️ Surgery Duration: 2–4 hours under general anesthesia
✔️ Hospital Stay: 2–3 nights for monitoring
✔️ Weight Loss: Up to 70% of excess weight within 12–18 months
✔️ Long-Term Benefits: Improvements in diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and heart health
Types of Gastric Bypass Surgery
🩺 Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)
The most common and effective type, creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the intestine in a “Y” shape to reduce food intake and absorption.
🩺 Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB)
A simpler version of the RYGB, involving one connection between the stomach pouch and intestine, often resulting in shorter surgical time.
🩺 Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS)
A more complex surgery combining sleeve gastrectomy with extensive intestinal bypass, reserved for patients with severe obesity.
🩺 Endoscopic Gastric Bypass (Revision Surgery)
A minimally invasive revision procedure for patients who need adjustments or corrections after prior bariatric surgery.
🧑⚕️ Who Is a Good Candidate?
