At SurgicalSol, gastric bypass is offered as one of the most effective minimally invasive procedures for long-term weight loss and management of obesity-related conditions. The surgery involves creating a small stomach pouch and connecting it directly to the small intestine. By bypassing part of the stomach and upper intestine, this approach not only restricts the amount of food that can be consumed but also reduces calorie absorption, resulting in significant and sustained weight loss.
The procedure is performed through small abdominal incisions using a laparoscope—a thin tube with a camera—along with specialized surgical instruments. Once the new pouch and intestinal connection are secured, instruments are withdrawn, and the incisions are closed. Patients are carefully monitored in recovery before moving to their hospital room for observation and further care.
Compared to traditional open surgery, laparoscopic gastric bypass ensures quicker recovery, minimal scarring, and fewer complications. Beyond weight reduction, it has proven benefits in improving or even resolving conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea. Hormonal changes following surgery help reduce appetite and increase feelings of fullness, providing additional support in maintaining long-term results. At SurgicalSol, under the expertise of Dr. Asif Iqbal, patients receive world-class surgical care with an emphasis on safety, efficiency, and a healthier future.
