What is the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass procedure?
The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass is the most widely performed surgery for the treatment of morbid obesity. The procedure can reduce or eliminate obesity-related diseases such as diabetes, hypertension, heart disease and sleep apnea. The Roux-en-Y procedure generally has fewer metabolic complications and greater long-term weight loss than other weight loss surgeries.
