Detailed description:

is a surgical operation that is performed on people with morbid obesity (who are very overweight). This surgical intervention aims to achieve long-term weight loss by reducing food absorption and reducing stomach size. Gastric bypass can also be used for patients with co-occurring diseases such as: type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and others.

During the operation, from a 2-4 liter capacity, we create the stomach into a small 50 ml pouch, to which one end of the small intestine is mechanically attached with strict adherence to standards, while the other end connects to the small intestine itself. Type of operation - restrictive/malabsorptive.
