About
The gastric bypass – also known as the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass – combines stomach reduction with a shortened passage through the small intestine, reducing the surface area available for nutrient absorption. In particular, the absorption of fat and protein in the intestine is reduced. Overall, the gastric bypass has a positive effect on hormonal balance – for example, by increasing the amount of insulin released to regulate blood sugar levels.
Gastric bypass surgery has been proven to be an effective treatment for obesity for many years. The first procedure of this kind was performed as early as 1966. There are different variants of gastric bypass surgery, which are selected depending on the patient's state of health.

FAQ
What is a gastric bypass?
A gastric bypass is a surgical procedure for weight loss that has been tried and tested for over 50 years. It involves reducing the size of the stomach and bypassing part of the intestine. This greatly reduces the amount of food that can be eaten, which leads to significant weight loss.
Who is a candidate for a gastric bypass?
A gastric bypass is suitable for severely overweight individuals (BMI ≥ 40 or ≥ 35 with concomitant diseases) who have not been able to achieve sufficient weight loss despite dieting and other measures and who have health risks due to their excess weight. Depending on the health and psychological conditions, a gastric bypass or another weight-loss surgery may be suitable.
How much weight can I lose after a gastric bypass?
Most patients lose around 60-70% of their excess weight in the first 12-18 months after gastric bypass surgery. However, success also depends on adherence to dietary and lifestyle guidelines after surgery.
What are the risks of gastric bypass surgery?
Possible risks of a gastric bypass include infection, bleeding, vitamin deficiency and complications in the digestive system. Regular follow-up care is necessary to detect and treat possible long-term problems early on.
