Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGBP) – Types

Roux-en-Y Gastric bypasses are classified as “mixed type” interventions against morbid obesity.

They are aimed at candidates with:

• Mixed eating habits (consumption of volume and sweets)
• Metabolic Syndrome
• Body Mass Index (BMI) < 50
• A history of gastroesophageal reflux disease
• Low basal metabolism (BMR)
• A previous failed restrictive type surgery

The choice of the type of gastric bypass is made for each individual, based on an algorithm for each candidate depending on their individual history.

The types of RYGBP Gastric Bypass are as follows:

• S – RYGBP
• RYGBP – LL
• RYGBP – LBL
• D – RYGBP
