Gastric Bypass Surgery in Nairobi.
Proven Weight Loss for a Healthier Life
Lose up to 60–80% of excess body weight within the first year through safe, advanced bariatric surgery at Rayhaan Healthcare.
How Gastric Bypass Works
Stomach Size Reduction:
A small pouch is created at the top of the stomach, reducing how much you can eat at once.
Intestinal Bypass:
The small stomach pouch is connected directly to part of the small intestine, bypassing most of the original stomach for reduced calorie absorption.
Calorie Intake Reduction:
Smaller meals, fewer calories, and hormonal changes promote steady weight loss.
Sustainable Results:
With proper nutrition and lifestyle adjustments, patients maintain long-term weight control.
What is Gastric Bypass Surgery
A gastric bypass, also called Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, is a medical weight-loss procedure that changes the way your stomach and small intestine handle food.
At Rayhaan Healthcare Nairobi, our bariatric specialists perform this surgery using the latest minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery and better long-term outcomes.
Average weight loss: 60–80% of excess body weight in the first year, with continued improvement over time.
