Gastric bypass is a metabolic and weight-loss procedure. It is also known by the French term "Roux-en-Y." The procedure modifies the digestive system so that it consumes and absorbs fewer calories. It modifies the stomach and small intestine.
A leaky anastomosis can cause bleeding and infection until treatment is complete. These leaks are serious and can be life-threatening. Long-term complications can include ulcers, scarring, and narrowing of the anastomosis (the point where the intestine connects to the gastric pouch), known as stricture. A fistula can also develop through the skin. A fistula could develop between the gastric pouch and the bypassed stomach. Pneumonia is another dangerous complication, as gastric juices can reach the lungs.
If you are considering gastric bypass surgery for obesity, discuss the procedure carefully with your doctor. You should weigh the overall risk of serious complications against the risk of persistent obesity. Remember that gastric bypass surgery works best when combined with a long-term healthy lifestyle. This includes good eating habits and regular exercise.
