Why is the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass the preferred procedure?
The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass has steadily gained credibility as the procedure of choice among patients and surgeons alike. After nearly 20 years and hundreds of thousands of procedures, the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass has demonstrated a track record of successful long-term weight loss with few complications or side effects. The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass combines three elements to induce long-term weight loss.
