Gastric Bypass
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the most common weight loss procedure, involves creating a small (2-3 ounce) stomach pouch by stapling the top part of the stomach. The rest of the stomach remains but is disconnected. Surgeons also bypass parts of the intestine, which decreases calorie and nutrient absorption, promotes satiety, suppresses hunger, and often reverses Type 2 diabetes.
This procedure is typically performed using a minimally invasive laparoscopic technique, though open surgery may be used based on medical history.

Sleeve Gastrectomy (Gastric Sleeve)
Sleeve gastrectomy is a restrictive procedure removing 80% of the stomach, creating a banana-sized pouch. This new stomach holds significantly less food, reducing calorie intake, yet still functions normally. As it avoids intestinal bypass, it's performed laproscopically.
This most common bariatric surgery helps patients feel fuller sooner and longer, decreasing portion sizes. It also significantly resolves obesity-related comorbidities like diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.
