What to Expect During
Gastric Bypass Surgery
Gastric bypass surgery at our Henderson, NV, practice is typically performed laparoscopically under general anesthesia. Dr. Ahmed will create a small pouch at the top of the stomach and connect it to a portion of the small intestine, allowing food to bypass most of the stomach and upper digestive tract.
This approach reduces how much you can eat and how many calories your body absorbs. The procedure takes about two to four hours, and most patients stay in the hospital for one to two days.
At Southern Nevada Bariatrics, your comfort and safety are our top priorities. Our Henderson-based team will guide you through every step, from pre-op preparation to post-op care, to help you recover smoothly and confidently.
