Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery

When Weight Affects Your Health, Hope Still Exists

Obesity can make life restrictive, physically, emotionally, and socially.

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)is one of the most time-tested bariatric procedures worldwide. It helps patients achieve significant weight loss while dramatically improving obesity-related health problems like diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and severe acidity.

Most importantly, it helps patients reclaim confidence, comfort, and quality of life.

  • Average 65–75% excess weight loss in 12–18 months
  • Considered the “Gold Standard” for metabolic improvement
  • Highly effective for Type 2 Diabetes & severe GERD
  • Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery
  • Complication rate 0.1-1%

Are You the Right Candidate for RYGB?

Right

You may be an ideal candidate if:

  • BMI ≥ 35 kg/m² — bariatric surgery recommended (with or without comorbidities).
  • BMI ≥ 30 kg/m² – bariatric/metabolic surgery considered if type 2 diabetes or metabolic syndrome is inadequately controlled by medical/lifestyle therapy
  • BMI ≥ 27.5 kg/m² – metabolic surgery may be considered as a non-primary alternative for poorly controlled T2DM/metabolic syndrome
  • BMI ≤ 27.5 kg/m² – metabolic surgery might be done only in clinical study protocols with appropriate ethical oversight.
  • You have struggled with weight despite diet, exercise & medication
  • You want long-term, sustainable health improvement

(In Indian/Asian body types, eligibility may be applicable at slightly lower BMI based on medical judgment.)

Wrong

Gastric Bypass may not be suitable if:

  • Severe smoking, alcohol, or substance dependence

The final decision is always made after consultation and evaluation. Make a booking for a consultation today!
