Gastric Bypass Surgery In Texas

Gastric Bypass Procedure

In gastric bypass surgery, Dr. Ganta staples off a large section of the stomach, creating a tiny stomach pouch, approximately one ounce or 30 milliliters in volume. Next, the first portion of the small intestine is divided, and the bottom end of the divided small intestine is brought up and connected to the newly created small stomach pouch. The procedure is completed by connecting the top portion of the divided small intestine to the small intestine further down so that the stomach acids and digestive enzymes from the bypassed stomach and first portion of small intestine will eventually mix with the food.

When the pouch fills with food a feeling of fullness occurs. The reconnected intestine causes the food to bypass part of the intestine so some of the nutrients and calories in food will not be absorbed. Thus, patients lose weight.

Understanding Gastric Bypass Surgery

Gastric Bypass: A Proven Path to Weight Loss

Gastric Bypass, a highly effective bariatric surgery, creates a small stomach pouch and reroutes the upper small intestines, significantly reducing food intake and calorie absorption. This procedure reduces the size of your stomach and hunger hormone permanently, improves your metabolism and results in excellent weight loss long-term. It’s not just a surgery; it’s a stepping stone to long-term weight management and health improvement.

How is the Gastric Bypass performed

Precision and Care in Every Step

During Gastric Bypass, our surgeons make small incisions in the abdomen, create a small pouch at the top of the stomach and connect it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large part of the stomach and duodenum. This procedure is performed with the utmost precision using minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery and reduced pain.
