This Gastric bypass surgery method is very suitable for patients who are unable to lose weight naturally despite repeated attempts, and who need to lose weight quickly due to health reasons.

Postoperatively, patient nutrition is the most important part in the recovery and weight loss process. The doctor will provide a list of diet that must be followed by the patient. In the first 24 hours, the patient is only allowed to drink fluids. The purpose of this diet is not to tire the stomach after surgery.
