Gastric Bypass (Bypass Surgery)
At Balat Aesthetic, we offer Gastric Bypass, a highly effective weight loss surgery that alters the digestive system to help patients achieve long-term weight management and improve overall health.
What is Gastric Bypass?
Gastric Bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a bariatric procedure that reduces stomach size and alters food digestion. It is commonly performed to:
- Help patients lose significant weight safely and effectively.
- Limit food intake and nutrient absorption for faster weight loss.
- Improve or resolve obesity-related health conditions such as diabetes and hypertension.
- Enhance quality of life and long-term well-being.
