The RNY is a form of gastric by-pass. In the surgery when the stomach is separated from the small pouch and the first portion of the small intestines are separated from the second portion of the small intestines and reconnected further down the diagram resembles a "Y". There are many different types of surgery the RNY is the most performed of them all.

RNY = Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass; the most common weight loss surgery. You can have RNY open or laproscopically. Here is a website that explains it all, you may already be familiar with the surgery if you understand gastric bypass. http://www.homanmd.com/RouxENY_Gastric%20Bypass.htm
