Gastric bypass surgery or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) in Madrid

Gastric bypass, also known as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, is one of the most effective and proven techniques for treating severe obesity and its associated diseases.

Clínica 3 de Mayo is made up of specialists in obesity surgery in Madrid, and we perform this procedure with a comprehensive medical approach, tailored to each patient and with multidisciplinary follow-up throughout the entire process.

What is gastric bypass surgery?

Gastric bypass is a bariatric surgery that combines two mechanisms:

  • Restriction: the size of the stomach is reduced to a small pouch (reservoir) to limit the amount of food.
  • Moderate malabsorption: intestinal transit is modified so that some of the nutrients are not absorbed, resulting in more effective weight loss.

Who can benefit from gastric bypass surgery?

It is indicated for patients with:

  • Body Mass Index (BMI) greater than 40.
  • BMI between 35 and 40 with associated diseases (type 2 diabetes, sleep apnea, hypertension, dyslipidemia, osteoarthritis, fatty liver, etc.).
  • Failed attempts with dietary or pharmacological treatments.
  • Selected cases with severe gastroesophageal reflux or when other techniques have not been successful.

It may also be considered in previously operated patients who require rescue surgery.

Benefits of gastric bypass surgery

✅ Rapid and sustained weight loss
✅ Remission of metabolic diseases such as type 2 diabetes
✅ Improvement in chronic gastroesophageal reflux
✅ Greater control of appetite and food cravings
✅ Proven technique with over 40 years of development
✅ Improved quality of life and mobility

How is gastric bypass surgery performed?

The stomach is reduced in size by creating a small pouch (reservoir) and connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing part of the digestive tract. Everything is done laparoscopically.

What is the difference between gastric sleeve surgery and gastric bypass surgery?

The gastric sleeve only reduces the volume of the stomach (restrictive technique), while gastric bypass adds a malabsorption component. Bypass is usually more effective in cases of diabetes, severe reflux, or very advanced obesity.

How much weight can you lose?

On average, patients lose between 65% and 85% of their excess weight in the first year. Long-term maintenance depends on lifestyle and medical follow-up.

Is there a risk of nutritional deficiencies?

Yes, there may be a risk of iron, vitamin B12, calcium, or protein deficiency. For this reason, individualized monitoring and supplementation with periodic check-ups are carried out.

When can you return to work?

Most patients can resume their normal activities within 10 to 15 days, depending on the type of work and individual progress.
