A segment of the small intestine is then connected to this pouch. There is a connection between the 2 limbs of the small bowel further down (called the jejuno-jejunal anastomosis) to allow mixing of gastric juice and food to allow digestion. Food is hence bypassed from the larger portion of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine (call the duodenum). It is used to help people to lose weight and improve their health.<\/p>\n<p>Losing weight <strong>lowers the risk<\/strong> of developing medical problems associated with obesity, such as heart attack, high blood pressure, diabetes mellitus, arthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, fatty liver, back pain, knee pain and ankle pain. This is a very effective operation to help improve Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. The diabetic control can be improved and the need for medications reduced.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cd27ad4 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"cd27ad4\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f61c69c elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"f61c69c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"948\" height=\"908\" src=\"https:\/\/www.surgicare.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GastricBypass.webp\" class=\"attachment-full size-full wp-image-2979\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.surgicare.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GastricBypass.webp 948w, https:\/\/www.surgicare.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GastricBypass-300x287.webp 300w, https:\/\/www.surgicare.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/GastricBypass-768x736.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 948px) 100vw, 948px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-69638610 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"69638610\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1cc3d035 elementor-widget__width-inherit elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1cc3d035\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" id=\"benefits\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:200}\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What are the benefits of a Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5dbeb5f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5dbeb5f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>After the surgery, food will enter the small stomach pouch from the oesophagus and then directly into the small intestine (Roux limb), hence bypassing the larger portion of the stomach.
