In general, the gastric bypass operation is more aggressive than the gastric sleeve.
This operation takes between one and one and a half hours. Using small abdominal incisions, a laparoscopic procedure called a gastric bypass is carried out. In order to digest your food and avoid using a portion of your small intestine, Dr. Carlton makes a little pouch in your stomach. Making these modifications has a big influence on the hormones in your stomach that regulate blood sugar, appetite, and fullness in addition to altering how much food you need to consume. You may reduce 60–80% of your extra body weight with the use of a gastric bypass.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][mkdf_section_title type=”standard” position=”” title_tag=”h3″ disable_break_words=”no” title=”Who is a good candidate for a Gastric Bypass?”][vc_column_text]Dr. Carlton and his team usually recommend gastric bypass if you have:
- A body mass index (BMI) of 35-39.9 and a weight-related health issue
- A BMI of 40 or higher
- Tried losing weight unsuccessfully with diet and exercise
Gastric bypass isn’t for everyone, however. As part of your appointment, Dr. Carlton and his staff carefully assess your eligibility by going through your surgical choices for weight reduction, your general expectations, the risks of gastric bypass surgery, and more.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”53px” el_class=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-lg”][vc_single_image image=”10407″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” el_class=”vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-lg”][/mkdf_elements_holder_item][/mkdf_elements_holder][/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1677523159007{padding-top: 100px !important;padding-bottom: 100px !important;}” offset=”vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs”][vc_single_image image=”10407″ img_size=”full”][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” css=”.vc_custom_1677523587835{padding-top: 37px !important;}” simple_background_color=”#eaeaea”][vc_column][mkdf_call_to_action layout=”normal” content_in_grid=”yes” button_text=”Ask a Question” button_type=”solid” button_size=”” button_link=”#contactnow”]

In place of a big incision, Dr. Carlton performs gastric bypass surgery using laparoscopic methods. Little incisions, specialized instruments, and video guidance are used in laparoscopic surgeries to carry out difficult operations.
The long-term results of the bypass, which include weight reduction and the treatment of Diabetes Mellitus, Hypertension (High Blood Pressure), and Hyperlipidemia, are comparable but significantly better (High Cholesterol).
