Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most trusted and effective bariatric procedures for individuals struggling with obesity. Performed by leading bariatric surgeon Mr. George Vasilikostas, this procedure not only helps with significant weight loss but also improves or resolves obesity-related health conditions such as Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnoea, and heart disease.

The laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting a portion of the small intestine. This helps patients feel full sooner, reduces calorie absorption, and promotes long-term weight loss. Additionally, the procedure alters gut hormones, reducing hunger and increasing satiety.
The procedure takes approximately 1 to 1.5 hours and is performed under general anaesthesia using minimally invasive laparoscopic techniques. This means smaller incisions, faster recovery, and reduced risks compared to open surgery.
