The so-called gastric bypass is the second most common operation in bariatric surgery.
The procedure restricts food intake and the absorption of nutrients.
In a gastric bypass, the size of the stomach is reduced and the lower intestinal loops are being connected to the small rest of the stomach. The bridging of parts of the intestine leads to a significantly reduced absorption, since the ingested food passes directly from the esophagus via the very small rest of the stomach into the small intestine. As a result of this shortcut, in addition to the reduced volume of food, less energy is absorbed from food.
For whom is an Gastric Bypass Suitable and How is it Performed?
A gastric bypass is particularly suitable for those affected by obesity who have a very high BMI (over 40) and especially if other previous procedures have not had the desired success. In terms of duration and weight loss, the procedure achieves a higher success rate than other methods of stomach reduction and can also have a positive influence on the healing of insulin-dependent diabeste mellitus. However, this procedure results in the need for a lifelong intake of vitamins, proteins and minerals, as well as a change in the intestinal anatomy that is almost impossible to reverse.

What kind of risks can occur?
As with all surgical procedures, a gastric bypass involves certain risks that cannot be ruled out. A distinction must be made here between the general risks of general anesthesia, intolerance to medication, including local anesthesia, and the specific risks of gastric bypass. In addition to the general risks of an operation, the following specific risks are to be assessed as increased in an gastric bypass operation:
- Bleeding, infections and wound healing disorders.After the operation, there is a risk of dumping syndrome, occurrence of internal fractures, and risk of ulcers in the area where the gastric pouch and small intestine join.
- The assessment and explanation of the risks must always be made individually and depending on the patient and his anamnesis in a detailed consultation with the operating doctor.

What do I have to consider after the treatment?
A stomach reduction using a gastric bypass means a lifelong sensitivity to the body. In addition to the weight loss, a laboratory examination must first take place after 3 months, then after 6 months and then once a year in order to check the adequate supply of vitamins and minerals, as well as the physical adaptation. Furthermore, a change in diet takes place after the procedure, which only provides for liquid food in the first two weeks. For this reason, aftercare is an important factor that not only contributes to success, but is a necessity for health.
