<\/span><\/h3>\nRNY Gastric Bypass surgery has two important stages. First, the upper part of the stomach is separated from the rest of the stomach, creating a small stomach pouch with a volume of about 30 millilitres. Next, the Y-shaped section of the small intestine is added to the pouch, allowing food to bypass the main stomach. By bypassing the two parts of the small intestine known as the duodenum and jejunum, the amount of calories and nutrients absorbed by the body is reduced.<\/p>\n
The newly created stomach pouch after surgery is much smaller and can store less food at one time. This results in a lower calorie consumption, which accelerates weight loss. Most importantly, the redirection of the digestive process allows for a change for the better in gut hormones that increase satiety, suppress hunger and reverse one of the primary mechanisms by which obesity triggers type 2 diabetes.<\/p>\n
