Roux-en-Y gastric bypass animation from www.hawaiiweightloss.com

This is an animation of the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It signifigantly restricts the volume of food that can be consumed and has mild malabsorption by making a small 1-ounce pouch connected to the small intestine and separating the food and digestive juices for 3-5 feet. Dr. Cirangle has performed more than 2,000 gastric bypass procedures at his weight loss clinic. Video courtesy of Ethicon.

Thank you for posting this - it was the best graphical representation I could find of the RNY procedure, and incredibly helpful for me pre-surgery. My surgeon and his dietitian are now including the YouTube URL in their surgery prep handouts! Kudos.
