Roux n Y (aka Roux en Y) Gastric Bypass

 

I consider the Roux n Y Gastric bypass to be the final method of weight control. Remembering that I am not a Doctor, just a person who suffered for 30 years and spending thousands on the latest AMA, ADA, Weightwatchers, etc. plans, books, being harrassed by people who clearly did not have a clue. 

FIRST, you must understand Morbid Obesity, the best site for this is:  http://www.sabariatric.com/morbid_obesity_defined.htm.  With this definition in mind, then look at the type of risks and results .

Personally, based on research I believe the Roux n Y form of Gastric Bypass to be most effective of the gastric bypass methods.  However, it only helps for a narrow range of conditions, see this excellent web site.  http://sabariatric.com.  It is a major surgery with the normal hazards.

  • laparoscopic surgery drastically reduces the danger

  • You MUST get clear statistics from any surgeon on

    • corrective surgeries after the Roux en Y

    • incidence (numbers) of Peterson's Hernia

    • incidence (numbers) of twisted/torsioned mesentery/mesentric

    • incidence (numbers) of "flipped" stomach pouches.
