Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
This operation combines restriction and malabsorption. Performed as a keyhole (laparoscopic) procedure the stomach is reduced in size to provide restriction. In addition a small section of the small bowel is ‘bypassed’ which results in some malabsorption of the food you eat and results in weight loss.
