Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) is a bariatric surgical procedure in which a small gastric pouch (~15–30 mL) is created from the proximal stomach and anastomosed to the jejunum (gastrojejunostomy), bypassing the distal stomach, duodenum, and a portion of the proximal jejunum. A jejunojejunostomy is then performed to restore intestinal continuity, forming the Roux limb. This procedure induces weight loss through a combination of restrictive and malabsorptive mechanisms, along with significant hormonal modulation (including increased GLP-1 secretion), contributing to improved glycemic control and metabolic outcomes.
