Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most effective weight-loss procedures, especially for individuals with severe obesity or those who suffer from obesity-related health problems. In this procedure, Dr. Zarak creates a small pouch from the upper part of the stomach and reroutes a portion of the small intestine, bypassing a significant part of the digestive tract. This dual effect restricts food intake and reduces calorie absorption, promoting weight loss.
This procedure is ideal for patients with a BMI of 40 or higher or those with a BMI of 35 or higher who have serious weight-related health conditions.
How Gastric Bypass Works:
- A smaller stomach pouch limits how much food you can eat, helping you feel full faster.
- The rerouting of the small intestine reduces the absorption of calories and nutrients.
- Hormonal changes improve insulin sensitivity and help manage type 2 diabetes effectively.
