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.

ABOUT THE PROCEDURE

This surgery also uses both a restrictive and malabsorptive approach to weight loss

A restrictive procedure is one that limits the amount of food that can be eaten at any one time. In the Mini-Gastric Bypass Surgery, this is done by creating a new smaller stomach that forces smaller meal portions.

A malabsorptive procedure is one that reduces the amount of food absorbed by the digestive system. In gastric bypass surgery, this is done by the bridge created between the new stomach and the first part of the small intestine. Since the food passes thru less of the intestines where digestion takes place, food is only partially digested and there is less absorption of nutrients and calories.
