Gastric Bypass UAE

Gastric bypass Abu Dhabi surgery is commonly known as weight loss surgery. This surgery technique divides the actual stomach into two pouches. One is the smaller upper pouch which would act as the stomach after the surgery. Another one is the larger ‘remnant’ pouch which along with the smaller pouch was the actual stomach before the surgery.

The surgery connects both of these pouches with the intestine in such a way that it can operate as a normal stomach but with less capacity. Different types of gastric bypass procedures provide greater specialization to this procedure. Depending on the purpose of the surgery, the exact procedure may differ from patient to patient. There are a number of factors that need to be taken care of when we are considering gastric bypass.

Purpose of the surgery

To put it simply, the purpose of gastric bypass surgery is to shrink the size of your stomach. As you can already guess, if the size of your stomach is smaller than before then automatically you will want to eat less. A Smaller amount of food will make you feel full. As you eat less, you will be able to lose weight easily. So if you look at it from this perspective, the main purpose of gastric bypass surgery is to help lose weight in morbid obesity cases.

Who needs gastric bypass surgery?

One thing that you should be clear of is that gastric bypass UAE surgery is by no means the shortcut to lose weight. It is a surgical procedure that is advised by a physician after proper physical examination and consultation. There are various factors that play a role in whether or not the surgery would work for the individual patient. In general, gastric bypass surgery is used for patients with:


  • A body mass index (BMI) of 40 and above
  • Serious weight-related health issues like type 2 diabetes, serious sleep apnea, or high blood pressure

These two factors clearly defect that gastric bypass surgery is used when obesity is becoming potentially morbid for the patient. But it should be noted here that the surgery cannot be used for anyone who is severely overweight. There are certain medical guidelines that a patient needs to qualify for this weight loss surgery. An extensive medical screening process is required to check whether a patient qualifies for these guidelines or not.

Another point that should be mentioned here is that gastric bypass surgery is not a one-time solution for all obesity-related health issues. It will only be successful if it is coupled with long-term permanent lifestyle changes such as healthy food habits, exercise, better medical conditions, and so on. Only with consistent effort and a guided lifestyle can this effort be successful.
