GlossaryRoux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB)

involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine

Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a large part of the stomach and the first section of the small intestine. This procedure not only restricts food intake but also reduces nutrient absorption, leading to significant weight loss and improvements in obesity-related conditions.
