Magen-Bypass Roux-En-Y
(RNYGB) in Frankfurt / Main
Well proven method for permanent weight loss
Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RNYGB) is one of the world's most established surgical methods for treating obesity. The stomach is converted into a smaller pouch and connected directly to a more distant loop of small intestine. This reduces food intake and partially bypasses the digestive process, resulting in significant weight loss.
In addition to the pure reduction in calorie intake, the procedure also has a positive effect on metabolism: many patients experience an improvement in concomitant diseases such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure or lipometabolic disorders. Our experienced team will accompany you from the initial consultation through to long-term follow-up care.
How the Roux-en-Y
Gastric Bypass works
The procedure is minimally invasive and performed under general anesthesia and usually takes 90 to 120 minutes. The recovery time varies, but most patients can leave the hospital after a few days.

As we run a private clinic, treatment is offered to those with statutory health insurance as a self-pay service. Of course, we will inform you in advance of all costs incurred.
1. Preparation:
Before the procedure, medical examinations, information on the course of
treatment and a change in diet are carried out for optimal preparation for the
operation.
A gastroscopy is also necessary. We ask you to send us the corresponding findings report.
2. Procedure:
The stomach is reduced in size via a laparoscopic approach and connected
directly to a more distant loop of small intestine, bypassing part of the
bowel.
3. Stitching & control:
The connections are sutured precisely to ensure safe healing.
4. Recovery phase:
After the operation, patients spend a few hours in the recovery room and
remain hospitalized for 3 to 5 days for monitoring, for which additional
expenses are to be expected.
5. Long-term support:
Structured aftercare with medical check-ups, nutritional advice and
lifelong supplementation of nutrients is essential.
