Are you considering taking control of your health and working towards your weight loss goals?
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery may provide a solution by reducing the size of your stomach and altering your digestive system, which can support weight management efforts.
Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, also called RNY surgery, is a type of weight loss surgery that creates both malabsorption and restriction to aid in weight loss. The surgery when compared to other procedures like the gastric sleeve, is typically more aggressive in terms of approach and weight loss.
During the surgery, the stomach is reduced to the size of an egg, creating restriction. On the other hand, the malabsorption is created by rerouting the small intestine to avoid or bypass a portion of the intestine. This causes the food you eat to not be absorbed by the bypassed portion of the intestines.

It is one of our most commonly performed bariatric surgery procedures. If you are interested in the surgery call to discuss your options today with our patient care coordinators.
Comparatively, RNY surgery may result in increased weight loss

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is typically resolved with RNY.
Studies have shown that the surgery can result in a longer life expectancy.

Once the patient is under general anesthesia in the operating room, the surgery can begin with these steps:
1. Incisions: The surgeon creates laparoscopic incisions on the abdomen
2. Instruments: Laparoscopic instruments are inserted through ports
3. Stomach Pouch: A 1 oz pouch is created from the stomach using a scalpel and stapler
4. Cutting Intestine: The small intestine is cut about 18″ (can vary based on bypass type) and connected to the new stomach pouch.
5. Routing Intestine: The other end of the small intestine is then attached further down the limb.
The most common procedure alternative to the bypass surgery is vertical sleeve gastrectomy or gastric sleeve surgery, which involves no changes to the digestive system or alterations of the part of the small intestine–providing similar weight loss expectations.
We recommend Gastric Sleeve Surgery in Tijuana, Mexico, for those looking for high-expected weight loss with minimal risks and side effects. Another alternative we also recommend is the Mini Gastric Bypass Procedure in Mexico, endorsed by the American Society for Metabolic & Bariatric Surgery.
Alternate options for surgery include adjustable gastric banding, a procedure where an inflatable band divides the stomach into two pouches using a laparoscope.
Vertical banded gastropexy is a type of surgery that divides the stomach into two sections, limiting space so that the individual will eat less following a strict, clear liquid diet and exercise regimen. This process uses a surgical stapler, but it is rare because it lacks long-term results.
The laparoscopic gastric sleeve is the leading option.
The Mini GB is a perfect alternative that uses only one anastomosis, or connection points, meaning it's technically a safer surgery which provides similar expected weight loss and side effects.
Gastric balloon procedure is another option, albeit one that doesn't provide the high levels of expected weight loss compared with RNY surgery. The main benefits are that the gastric balloon is reversible and non-surgical.
Duodenal Switch has the highest weight loss statistics and is the often compared with RNY surgery.

RNY surgery allows food to bypass a section of the small intestine, triggering a faster sense of fullness, reduced food intake, and lower calorie consumption – a crucial aspect of weight-loss surgery that can lead to weight reduction.
The procedure involves creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach using surgical staples. This stomach pouch is then linked to the small intestine bypass, enabling a low amount of food to bypass the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine. This can lead to significant changes for patients who have type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, and high blood pressure due to weight loss.
Laparoscopic surgery is a procedure in which a small incision is made using tiny instruments and a camera to seal part of the stomach. This approach could reduce hospital stays.

Since the early 2000s RNY surgery has emerged as a popular surgical treatment to obesity. This procedure involves shrinking the stomach down to create an elongated tube-like structure in order to control food intake and promote lasting lifestyle changes that can lead to significant body transformation.
Prices vary drastically depending on location; cost is often seen as an attractive option due to cost savings compared to other countries.
In Mexico, the surgery typically costs anywhere between $5,500 and $7,500 USD. Although this is an average price that varies from patient to patient based on medical needs and other factors. The surgery can cost over $30,000 in the US.
What to expect
Find your estimated weight loss after surgery.
Estimated Weight Loss
With you're estimated to lose 67 lbs over 12-18 months
You are currently below your ideal body weight and thus not a candidate for surgery.
Ideal Body Weight (IBW) represents the weight a person should be for their height. Excess Body Weight (EBW) is the amount of weight a person is over their IBW.
After laparoscopic surgery, a twо day in-patients stay in Mexico iѕ required for recovery. A patient can generally return to normal activities after three to five weeks.
A notable side effect is dumping syndrome, a risk of RNY surgery, where fооd mоvеs too rapidly, leading to nаuѕеа, weakness, fаintnеѕѕ аnd diarrhea. The consumption of refined foods aggravates these symptoms.
Other side effects include hair loss and thinning, mood changes, and flu-like symptoms, such as chills, fatigue, and body aches.
Rоux-еn-Y can lead to a vitamin and mineral deficiency, specifically iron and vitаmin B12, in 30% оf patients post-operatively. It can аlѕо rеѕult in a hernia; the part of the stomach can also expand, resulting in hiccupping and bloating.
More severe risks can also occur, including the possibility of incision infections. Approximately 1.5% of individuals experience fatality within the first year following the surgery.
Many morbidly obese experience infertility. Often times, RNY surgery can help with fertility once the weight has been shed. Research indicates that undergoing the surgery reduces the risk of post-surgical pregnancy complications for obese individuals.
For example, maternal blood pressure is lowered on average by ten times, while there is a lowered risk of diabetes, hypertension, and giving birth by C-section. The infant’s chance of being born with spina bifida is also reduced.
However, the surgery can lead to iron and Vitamin B12 deficiencies; as such, a person trying to conceive should make sure they talks to their doctor about vitamin supplements as part of her liquid diet in order to ward off anemia.
