The Roux-en-Y (RNY) gastric bypass surgery, which is currently the most common type of gastric bypass surgery, was first performed in 1967 through open surgery, and uses a Y configuration in rerouting the intestines. The first laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass was performed in 1993.
There are two steps during gastric bypass surgery: The first step makes your stomach smaller. Your surgeon uses staples to divide your stomach into a small upper section and a larger bottom section. The top section of your stomach (called the pouch) is where the food you eat will go. The pouch is about the size of a walnut. It holds only about 1 ounce (oz) of food. Because of this you will eat less and lose weight.
