Introduction
Gastric Bypass (Roux-en-Y) is one of the most effective bariatric procedures for long-term weight loss and metabolic improvement. It works by reducing stomach size and rerouting a portion of the digestive tract, helping patients achieve significant weight reduction and improvement in obesity-related conditions.
