Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass Bariatric Surgery is a minimally invasive technique performed under general anesthesia making small incisions through the abdomen, resulting in a quicker recovery time. This surgery helps patients eat less and feel fuller quickly absorbing less sugar and fat, creating a good metabolic control and the activation of intestinal hormones known as incretins. This procedure is ideal for patients with diabetes, hiatal hernias, those who eat lots of sweets or who have had previous surgeries such as gastric sleeves or gastric bands and are looking to continue to control obesity.

This surgery causes patients to eat little with a very good feeling of satiety and absorb less sugar and fat, generating good metabolic control also due to the activation of intestinal hormones (incretins).
