Gastric Bypass
Obesity/Bariatric Surgery
Overview
Modern methods of bariatrics have developed very successful treatments for people who suffer from severe obesity and associated medical conditions. One of these procedures is the gastric bypass (also referred to as roux en Y gastric bypass or RYGB) which is a surgical method to reduce the capacity of the stomach and to create a new path for the flow of food through the body. The reduction in capacity of the stomach and the creation of a new pathway will limit how much food an individual can eat and will significantly decrease how many calories are absorbed by the body. Consequently, the amount of weight lost is often substantial and occurs quickly. For individuals suffering from obesity-related conditions such as diabetes and/or hypertension, the benefits of gastric bypass surgery are especially pronounced. Patients receive comprehensive information about their options for bariatric surgery, including access to internationally-recognized bariatric surgeons and hospitals. Through CureMeAbroad, patients have access to world class bariatric centers equipped with state-of-the-art surgical technology, as well as experienced bariatric specialists. Every patient receives a custom-designed treatment plan to ensure each patient's safety and optimal results.

Ultimately, with expert surgical care and long-term follow-up, gastric bypass surgery abroad provides an efficient means to achieve meaningful and sustainable weight loss and improved general health.
