Gastric Bypass
The path to a healthier life often requires significant decisions and changes. One of these changes might be opting for a gastric bypass procedure, a proven solution to combat obesity and improve quality of life. At CLA, we take pride in offering this transformative surgery, guiding each patient towards a healthier and more fulfilling life.
What is Gastric Bypass?
The Gastric Bypass is a mixed technique that acts on both the stomach and the small intestine, producing a restrictive and malabsorptive effect at the same time. The restrictive effect is achieved by leaving a very small stomach after sectioning it.
This will reduce the capacity for intake, the patient feels satiated with small amounts of food and does not experience hunger.
In addition, a malabsorptive effect is added by shortening the small intestine so that the absorption surface is greatly reduced, which results in greater weight loss that is maintained over the years. It is a more effective technique than the gastric sleeve.

Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass
If there is something that sets us apart in the field of weight loss clinics in Madrid, it is our strong commitment to laparoscopy, a minimally invasive form of surgery that enables the most effective operations, significantly reducing the complications associated with the procedure to be performed.
Gastric Bypass Benefits
The benefits of gastric bypass go beyond weight loss. It can also improve or resolve conditions associated with obesity, such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. Are you already aware of the characteristics of Gastric Bypass that make it one of the most recommended interventions in cases of severe obesity?
Significant Weight Loss
Gastric bypass can result in significant weight loss, which is beneficial for individuals with severe obesity. It can lead to a loss of between 60% and 70% of excess weight.
Improvement of Medical Conditions
Many medical conditions associated with obesity improve or even resolve after weight loss surgery, including type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and high cholesterol.
Improvement in Quality of Life
Weight loss can result in an improved quality of life and an increase in the patient’s confidence, self-esteem, and energy. It can also lead to better mobility and the ability to engage in physical activities.
Lower Risk of Mortality
Studies have shown that the risk of mortality in obese individuals significantly decreases after a procedure like gastric bypass.
Improvement in Mental Health
There are direct improvements in mental health, including a reduction in symptoms of depression and anxiety, post-surgery.
