Mini Gastric Bypass

Mini gastric bypass is a simpler procedure than traditional gastric bypass but offers similar results in weight loss. It involves creating a smaller pouch and connecting it to the small intestine with a single anastomosis. This procedure reduces the amount of food that can be consumed and limits calorie absorption. It is an ideal option for those seeking a quick and effective solution with fewer potential complications.

Mini Gastric Bypass Procedure

The surgery is performed laparoscopically, where the surgeon makes several small incisions in the abdomen. A small pouch is created in the upper part of the stomach and connected directly to the small intestine via a single anastomosis.

This change in pathway reduces the amount of food that can be consumed and limits calorie absorption. The procedure typically takes between one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. After the surgery, the incisions are closed, and the patient begins recovery under close medical supervision.
