Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), the gold standard bariatric procedure combining restriction and malabsorption for sustained weight loss and metabolic improvement. Chinese bariatric centers perform this procedure with experienced surgical teams, achieving 60-80% excess weight loss and high rates of type 2 diabetes remission. The procedure creates a small gastric pouch connected directly to the mid-jejunum, bypassing most of the stomach and duodenum.
