Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery is the "gold standard" for the surgical treatment of obesity. It is well proven to be safe and effective.

In this procedure, a laparoscopic (minimally invasive) technique is used that allows placement of a tiny camera and micro instruments through five small incisions made in your abdomen. The surgeon creates a "new," smaller stomach and re-routes the digestive channel. With a smaller stomach, you will only be able to eat small amounts of food at one time.
