Abstract

The global increase in obesity has generated growing concern, driving the search for solutions to address this epidemic and its repercussions. In this context, gastric bypass has established itself as a surgical intervention for treating morbid obesity and its comorbidities. This systematic review of the scientific literature examines the complications and benefits of gastric bypass, beyond weight loss, considering its short- and long-term effects. Through a comprehensive analysis, relevant studies were selected that demonstrate the effectiveness of gastric bypass in weight reduction and the improvement of associated medical conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension. However, postoperative complications were also identified, such as dumping syndrome and intestinal obstructions, which require rigorous follow-up. Surveys conducted revealed a high level of satisfaction with the results of the surgery, indicating that expectations were met or exceeded. Additionally, the qualitative analysis of interviews with patients and healthcare professionals highlighted the importance of comprehensive support that addresses both the physical and emotional aspects of treatment. Long-term follow-up showed that, although patients experience sustained weight loss, continuous monitoring is essential to manage potential complications and optimize long-term health. It is evident that gastric bypass is a viable solution for morbid obesity, but its success depends on a multidisciplinary approach and adequate follow-up
