Gastric Bypass Manhattan

 


If you are considering Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass surgery, the first step is to educate yourself about the surgery and procedure. The Center for Obesity Surgery at Columbia Medical Center in Manhattan holds valuable informational seminars for you to get an overview of your options for obesity surgery, and whether it's right for you.


 In Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery, the stomach is made smaller by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach using surgical staples or a plastic band. The smaller stomach is connected directly to the middle portion of the small intestine, thus allowing food intake to bypass the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine. The purpose of reducing the size of the stomach and placing it next to the middle portion of the small intestine will reduce the patient's food intake while allowing the patient to feel fuller quicker. Bypassing part of the patient's small intestine also reduces the amount of calories absorbed, thus resulting in weight loss.


 At the Center for Obesity Surgery at Columbia Medical Center all surgeons are certified in general surgery and affiliated with the American Society of Bariatric Surgery. The panel of 3 doctors which specialize in Roux-en-Y Gastric Surgery that work for the Center has received a 5 star ranking from Health grades, and has also been named the American College of Surgeons Center of Excellence.
