RNY Gastric Bypass Surgery

Service Description

Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (often called RNY bypass) is one of the most established and effective bariatric surgeries worldwide. It combines two powerful mechanisms — reducing the stomach size and rerouting part of the digestive tract — to support significant, lasting weight loss and major improvements in metabolic health. During RNY surgery, a small pouch is created at the top of the stomach and connected directly to a section of the small intestine, bypassing the majority of the stomach and part of the bowel. This dual approach limits food intake, reduces calorie absorption, and triggers important hormonal shifts that regulate appetite, blood sugar, and fat metabolism. At MWLC Health UK, we believe RNY gastric bypass isn’t just about weight loss — it’s about reclaiming health, mobility, and confidence. Our unique approach pairs surgical excellence with natural, anti-diet recovery strategies to support your success far beyond the operating room. RNY bypass offers extensive benefits, including: • Significant, sustainable weight loss over 12–24 months • Rapid improvements in type 2 diabetes and insulin resistance • Reduction in sleep apnea, high blood pressure, and joint issues • Lower long-term risk of heart disease and stroke • Improved energy, mental health, and overall quality of life Who is it for? RNY gastric bypass is often recommended for patients who: • Have a BMI over 40, or over 35 with obesity-related health conditions • Have severe metabolic issues like diabetes or PCOS • May have reflux (GERD) that would be worsened by other procedures like sleeve gastrectomy • Are looking for the strongest long-term weight maintenance tool What to expect: • Surgery performed under general anaesthesia • Hospital stay of around 3 nights • Initial recovery period of 4–6 weeks • Gradual reintroduction of foods through MWLC-guided nutrition stages Why choose MWLC Health UK?
