  • RNY Gastric Bypass is the most common type of Weight loss surgery performed in the United States today

    .
  • RNY Gastric Bypass is considered by Duke university Medical Center to be the " Gold Standard" of all weight loss surgeries.
  • RNY Gastric Bypass works because the size of the stomach is reduced to around the size of an egg.   At the same time the surgeon will bypass a portion of the small intestine so your body cannot absorb as much of the nutrients that pass through it.
  • The above features make the surgery a very powerful tool for the morbidly obese patient to use to lose weight and keep it off.
