Gastric bypass surgery, like other obesity surgeries, is usually performed laparoscopically. The surgery is performed through small incisions made in the abdominal area. Thus, the patient is largely protected from risks such as possible wound infection and hernia that may develop after the surgery. Robotic surgery method is also used for gastric bypass surgeries.
Postoperative period
After surgery, patients can easily feel full by eating small amounts of food, and after a while this Fullness turns into loss of appetite. Total food intake is significantly reduced. Due to the reduced size of the newly created stomach and reduced food absorption, the surgeon's and dietitians' instructions for the use of necessary vitamin and mineral supplements must be followed. Thus, the patient can lose weight without losing vitamins and minerals. Patients are sent home three or four days after surgery.
