What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?

• Gastric bypass surgery, alternatively known as Roux-en-Y bypass, Roux-en-Y, and RNY, is a bariatric surgical procedure that involves reducing the size of the stomach to induce satiety with small quantities of food.
• Also, a large part of the small intestine is bypassed to allow for food and digestive juices to mix up distally.
• This helps delay and reduce the process of absorption of calories and nutrients.
•  In Roux-en-Y bypass, part of the stomach is stapled to reduce the gastric space and the small intestine is reshaped into a “Y” and reconnected with the stomach pouch thereby bypassing the jejunum and duodenum.
• A couple of days after your surgery you will be given clear liquids such as broth and juice.
• You will have to stick to pureed or mashed foods for about four weeks after your surgery.
• You will gradually be able transition to solid foods one month after your surgery.
