Laparoscopic distal Roux-en-Y gastric bypass: This minimally invasive procedure is designed to treat weight regain after gastric bypass surgery. This procedure can help you to lose more weight after weight regain by reducing your ability to absorb food and calories.

Gastric bypass, also called Roux-en-Y (roo-en-wy) gastric bypass, is a type of weight-loss surgery that involves creating a small pouch from the stomach and connecting the newly created pouch directly to the small intestine.
The StomaphyX procedure is a new and innovative revision procedure for individuals who have had Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery and have regained weight due to a stretched stomach pouch or enlarged stomach outlet.
Revision surgery may be done because the patient's anatomy has changed over time and needs repair. "Patients also come to us for help because they've gained weight related to behavioral changes or some new stress in their lives," says Dr. Abraham Krikhely, of the Columbia Center for Metabolic and Weight Loss.

Roux-en-Y is the most common type of gastric bypass surgery. The procedure involves stapling the stomach to create a small pouch that holds less food. We shape a portion of the small intestine into a "Y." Roux-en-Y is: Malabsorptive (limits food absorption)
You will probably return to normal activities within 3 to 5 weeks. You may shower, if your doctor okays it. Pat the incision dry. Do not take a bath for the first 2 weeks, or until your doctor tells you it is okay.
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) — pronounced "roo-en-why" — is the most commonly performed weight-loss procedure in the United States. It has been in practice for more than 30 years and provides an excellent balance of weight loss and manageable side effects.
The sleeve gastrectomy procedure is technically easier, faster to perform, and potentially safer compared with Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. However, much more data on clinical and metabolic long-term outcomes are available on the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass procedure.
In addition, we show that life expectancy among patients with obesity who were given usual care was approximately 8 years shorter than in the general population, and this difference was decreased by bariatric surgery, which was associated with life expectancy that was approximately 3 years longer than that associated ...
A: The remnant (or remaining) stomach gets smaller over time since it is no longer getting stretched with food and drink, but still serves an essential purpose in producing stomach acid and enzymes to help us digest our food.
What Will the Recovery Be Like? Most gastric bypass surgery is laparoscopic, which means the surgeon makes small cuts. That makes for shorter recovery time. Most people stay in the hospital for 2 to 3 days, and get back to normal activities in 3 to 5 weeks.
To be eligible for bariatric surgery the patient must have a body-mass index (BMI) ≥ 35 , and at least one co-morbidity related to obesity. Further, the documentation must clearly demonstrate the failure of reasonable non-invasive/non-surgical treatments for obesity with which the beneficiary has been compliant.
