Overview of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery is a highly effective weight-loss procedure offered at Richard Martinez, MD's Surgical Services. This bariatric surgery aims to reduce the size of the stomach and reroute the digestive system to promote significant and long-term weight loss for individuals struggling with obesity, related health conditions, and the inability to lose weight through conventional methods.
How Does Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Work?
This advanced surgical procedure involves creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach, which is then connected to the small intestine. By bypassing a portion of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine, the body absorbs fewer calories and nutrients. This results not only in reduced food intake but also changes in hormones, leading to decreased appetite and improved metabolism.
Benefits of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery
The Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery offered by Richard Martinez, MD provides numerous benefits for patients seeking a sustainable weight loss solution. Some of the key advantages include:
- Significant Weight Loss: Patients can expect to lose a substantial amount of excess weight, typically ranging from 60% to 80% of their excess body weight within the first year of the procedure.

- Long-Term Weight Maintenance: Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass offers long-lasting weight loss when combined with lifestyle changes, including a healthy diet and regular exercise.
