Laparoscopic Roux-en y gastric bypass surgery is one of the oldest and time-tested bariatric procedures with excellent weight loss results. It also significantly improves all obesity-related co-morbidities like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc.
Laparoscopic Roux-en y gastric bypass surgery is a weight loss procedure in which a small pouch of the stomach is created, and the small intestine is re-routed to attach to this pouch. The rest of the stomach remains inside and is bypassed along with the duodenum and the first part of the jejunum.
In a “Banded Gastric Bypass,” a non-adjustable band is applied over the stomach pouch to prevent it from dilating in the future. This helps in better long-term weight maintenance and prevents weight regain as compared to a non-banded RYGB.
Laparoscopic banded Roux-en y gastric bypass surgery leads to about 65 to 75% excess weight loss over 12 to 18 months. Of course, this can be improved if the patient puts more effort into diet and exercise. Banded Roux-en y gastric bypass surgery also significantly improves associated co-morbidities like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, gout, obstructive sleep apnoea, joint diseases, etc. It can be used as a first bariatric procedure or, more commonly, in patients with weight regain after another type of bariatric surgery (Revision Bariatric Surgery).
