Rachel's Story

Gastric Bypass

Lost 5 Stone / 32kg

How it works


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.
