Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey: The Roux-en-Y (RYGB)
The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery, or basically “gastric bypass surgery”, is the 50-year-old standard for Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey. The “Roux-en-Y” bit is French for “in the form of Y”. Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey is the most common operation to treat obesity and obesity-related illnesses.
The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery Procedure
The Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey depended first on an laparotomy approach (i.e. open abdomen), but in the nineties, surgeons began to incorporate a laparoscopic approach in doing the procedure for most of the cases (i.e. using a tine tubular camera inserted from a minimally invasive incision).
In the RYGB, Tour for Cure Consultant Surgeons surgically divide the stomach into two portions using staplers, sealing each of them from each other. The one above is the smaller one, the pouch, just about the size of an egg, is the one the surgeon optimizes for to retain its function. The larger portion below is “bypassed” and no longer holds or digests food.
Then, the surgeon divides the small intestine and connects it to the newly partitioned stomach pouch so that it functions as a new, resized stomach that passes food directly into the middle part of the small intestine.
In order to not isolate the secretions of the bypassed portion of the stomach and use them to digest the food even further, the surgeon connects it to the small intestine downstream of the new one, which results in a bowel connection resembling the shape of the letter Y, hence the name.
The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey is the most common way to get rid of obesity and its complications.
How does Gastric Bypass Surgery in Turkey work?
Essentially, gastric surgery decreases the size of the stomach to allow you to eat less, and moves part of the digestion process that happens in the stomach into the small intestine by mixing the secretions of the bypassed portion with the eaten food.
Like the other bariatric gastric procedures, the new stomach pouch is smaller and stores less food, which reduces the calories ingested before you feel full. Further, some of the absorption that your small intestine does happens in the first portion (the duodenum), which is also bypassed in the gastric bypass surgery, resulting in reduced absorption.
All of this decreases your sense of hunger, makes you feel fullness faster, and allows you to reach and maintain a healthier body weight. The impact of gastric bypass surgery in Turkey on your overall health is great, for it improves heartburn and type 2 diabetes by adjusting your hormone levels even before any weight loss occurs.

Disadvantages of the Gastric Bypass Surgery
The most prominent disadvantage of gastric bypass surgery that with this increased effectiveness comes more complexity on the technical side, compared to sleeve gastrectomy or gastric band; but that is not an issue, as Tour for Cure Weight Loss Surgeons are professionals with decades of experience in performing gastric bypass surgery.
The other disadvantages, shared with many of the other gastric surgeries in Turkey include vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which can be avoided by following the dietary plan Tour for Cure Nutritionists will develop for you after the surgery; ulcers in response to tobacco and NSAIDs use; and the general risk of small bowel complications and obstruction, which can be avoided by following the diet plan and adopting an exercise schedule.
