MINI BYPASS
SURGERY
Compared to Gastric Bypass, Mini-Gastric Bypass is a shorter and relatively easier procedure, with a less complicated surgical technique. The result of this bariatric surgery also means fewer possibilities of complications during and after the surgery.
Unlike the conventional Gastric Bypass, in the Mini-Gastric Bypass, the capacity of the stomach is reduced to 1-2 oz., and it joins it with the small intestine. So, in this surgery, we don´t cut the intestine, the procedure is to attach it to the new stomach. In this way, we create a new circuit in which food passes over a bridge to the first part of the small intestine. The Mini-Gastric Bypass is a minimally invasive surgical technique. Therefore, it also means a faster recovery process, with less pain and a satisfactory result for weight loss.
