Gastric Bypass Surgery

Gastric bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is one of the most effective bariatric surgeries for sustainable weight loss. The procedure reduces the size of the stomach and reroutes a portion of the small intestine. This limits food intake and decreases calorie absorption, leading to long-term weight reduction and improvement of obesity-related health conditions. At İnci Esthetic, gastric bypass surgery is performed laparoscopically by experienced bariatric surgeons.

Benefits of Gastric Bypass

This surgery offers both health and lifestyle benefits:

Significant long-term weight loss (up to 70–80% of excess weight within 18–24 months).

Improvement or resolution of type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and sleep apnea.

Laparoscopic (minimally invasive) surgery with smaller incisions and faster recovery.

Reduced appetite and altered gut hormones supporting weight maintenance.

Improved quality of life, energy, and confidence.
