What is Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Gastric bypass surgery creates a small gastric pouch and connects it to a Roux or one-anastomosis jejunal limb so food bypasses most of the stomach and the first small bowel. A pouch is stapled from the upper stomach. A Roux-en-Y or one-anastomosis limb is joined to the pouch, and bowel measurements are recorded. Leak testing is performed as planned. Long-term vitamin follow-up starts before discharge.
