Our experienced surgical team is dedicated to providing meticulous care and comprehensive support, guiding patients toward dramatically improved health, mobility, and overall quality of life.
The Mechanism of Gastric Bypass Surgery
The gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) is recognized as one of the most effective and time-tested procedures for surgical weight loss. The operation achieves results through a dual mechanism. First, the surgeon creates a small stomach pouch, severely restricting the amount of food a patient can consume in one sitting. Second, a portion of the small intestine is bypassed. This alteration reduces the absorption of calories and nutrients, helping to induce powerful hormonal changes that significantly decrease appetite and promote healthy, long-term weight management. Our surgeons ensure every procedure is performed with the utmost precision and safety.
Comprehensive Care and Long-Term Success
We believe that successful gastric bypass surgery is a comprehensive journey. It involves extensive preoperative consultation, nutritional counseling, and psychological evaluation to ensure every patient is fully prepared for the necessary lifestyle changes. Ultimate Bariatrics is committed to dedicated post-operative follow-up, serving as your trusted partner in achieving a healthier, more vibrant future across the entire Dallas-Fort Worth region.

The Gastric Bypass is one of the most practiced and well studied weight loss procedures. First performed in 1967 as an open incisional surgery, it can now be done laparoscopically, which has proven much safer while also producing the same results... although with fewer complications. Most patients need only a one-night stay in the hospital and can resume normal routines in only 2-3 weeks.
With this procedure, we segment off a small pouch from the stomach tissue to create a new stomach that is roughly the size of a golf ball, yet is no larger than a tennis ball. We then reroute a section of the small intestines, known as the jejunum, to the newly created pouch, therby bypassing the stomach and duodenum. This not only reduces the amount of food that can be consumed, leaving you with a feeling of satiety (sense of fullness), but it shortens the time required for food to pass through the body and limits the absorption of bad nutrients, such as saturated fats.
The Gastric Bypass has proven to have the best long term success with 85% of patients losing and maintaining 50% of initial weight loss after 5 years.
