Hi everyone! My name is Angel and I'm starting my weight loss journey. I do have a surgery date of 10/26 and will be having the
gastric bypass. I'm at the excited and scared stage right now. It took me a long time to decide to have the surgery done, but I'm glad that I'm doing it.
My additional conditions include fibromyalgia and sciatica.
Look forward to all the info sharing and support
Angel

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass
|
 |
A type of gastric bypass procedure which combines restrictive and malabsorption techniques - meaning, it reduces the amount of food a patient can comfortably eat (restriction), and also reduces the amount of calories that can be digested in the small intestine (malabsorption). This combination of bariatric methods leads to greater weight loss and the roux-en-y procedure is seen as one of the best ways to treat clinically severe obesity.
See WLS Videos for animated surgery technique. |
