The Roux-en-Y has proven to be effective on ameliorating and even resolving obesity-related comorbidities such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, osteoarthritis, dyslipidemia, obstructive sleep apnea, asthma, varicose veins, even infertility.
A Roux-en-Y might be reversible if the patient faces long-term complications, although a reversal also implies risks as any surgical procedure would.
The outcomes and benefits to obtain from this surgery will depend on many factors, including compliance to prescriptions, medical and nutritionist recommendations, maintenance of a healthy lifestyle, and even genetic predisposition.
