Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is the most effective bariatric procedure for producing safe short-term and long-term weight loss in severely obese patients.

For severe obesity, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass is considered the gold standard surgery. It typically results in losing 50-60% of your excess body weight and significantly improves or resolves conditions like Type II diabetes in up to 90% of patients. It requires lifelong vitamin supplementation and dietary changes to manage dumping syndrome.
