Your Questions Answered

Why Do I Need Gastric Bypass Surgery?

Gastric bypass surgery is recommended for severe obesity (BMI over 40, or 35 with health issues like diabetes) when diet and exercise fail. It reduces stomach size and reroutes digestion to promote weight loss and improve conditions like hypertension. Your doctor will assess your eligibility.

How Do They Do It?

Pre-Surgical Assessment

Tests confirm eligibility; nutritional counseling prepares you.

Anesthesia

General anesthesia ensures you’re asleep during surgery.

Surgical Procedure

Laparoscopic method creates a small pouch and bypasses intestine.

Closing & Recovery

Small incisions closed; diet transitions to liquids.

The procedure takes 2-4 hours, typically minimally invasive. Your surgeon will outline each step.

What Could Go Wrong?

Gastric bypass is safe but carries risks such as:

Infection or bleeding at incision sites

Nutritional deficiencies long-term

Leakage at stomach or intestine connection

Blood clots or dumping syndrome

Complications occur in less than 10% of cases. SB Medical Travels partners with top centers to reduce risks.

How Do I Get Ready?

Preparation ensures a smooth surgery and recovery:

Before Surgery:

  • Follow a pre-op liquid diet for 1-2 weeks

  • Adjust medications with your doctor’s guidance

  • Pack loose clothing for post-surgery comfort

  • Plan support for dietary changes and recovery

SB Medical Travels offers a detailed guide and assistance with pre-op requirements.

How Long Until I'm Back to Normal?

Recovery Timeline:

1
Hospital Stay

2-3 days, until stable and eating liquids.

3

Does It Hurt?

Pain is managed effectively during and after gastric bypass:

No pain; you’re under general anesthesia.

Immediately After

Mild abdominal pain; controlled with medication.

Recovery Period

Discomfort fades in weeks; diet adjustments key.
