It works in two ways:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.9;list-style:none;padding-left:0\">\n<li><strong>1. Stomach reduction:<\/strong> A small stomach pouch (about 30 ml) is created, limiting food intake<\/li>\n<li><strong>2. Intestinal bypass:<\/strong> The small intestine is rerouted to connect directly to this pouch, bypassing the first portion of the small intestine (the duodenum)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\">This dual mechanism produces <strong>greater weight loss than gastric sleeve<\/strong> AND has more powerful metabolic effects on diabetes, hypertension, and cholesterol. It is considered the <strong>gold standard<\/strong> bariatric procedure when severe obesity coexists with metabolic disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.7\">Surgery is performed <strong>laparoscopically<\/strong> through 4-5 small incisions, under general anesthesia, taking approximately 90-120 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_gben_journey{padding-top:60px !important;padding-bottom:60px !important;background-color:%23f5f7fa !important}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Your 5-night journey to Guadalajara&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:30|text_align:center|color:%23004a80&#8243; use_theme_fonts=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;text-align:center;max-width:820px;margin:0 auto 30px\">Gastric bypass requires slightly longer hospital monitoring than gastric sleeve.
