Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y)
A metabolic weight-loss procedure that creates a smaller stomach pouch and changes the digestive pathway to support significant, long-term weight loss.
— Understanding the procedure
What is gastric bypass surgery?
Gastric bypass is a weight-loss surgery that makes the stomach smaller and changes how food travels through the digestive system.
The surgeon creates a small stomach pouch, helping you feel full after eating less.
The pouch is connected to a lower section of the small intestine, bypassing part of the stomach and intestine.
The procedure changes hunger-related hormones and reduces the absorption of some calories and nutrients.
It can lead to significant, long-term weight loss and may improve type 2 diabetes, acid reflux, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
— Potential benefits
How gastric bypass may support your health.
Results vary, but gastric bypass may support meaningful weight loss and improvement in several obesity-related health conditions.
— Is it right for me?
Gastric bypass may be appropriate if:
Your BMI is 40 or higher, even without another medical condition.
Your BMI is 35 or higher with at least one obesity-related medical condition.
You have severe acid reflux or GERD, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, joint problems, or another weight-related concern.
You are prepared for long-term nutrition, vitamin, and medical follow-up.
Final eligibility is determined through a complete medical review with the bariatric team.

Know your starting point
Your BMI is one of several factors used during a bariatric evaluation. Medical history, previous treatments, medications, and personal health goals are also considered.
