Mini Gastric Bypass
GENERAL FEATURES OF THE OPERATION
Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is a restrictive and malabsorptive bariatric procedure that creates a single stomach-to-intestine connection. It is designed to reduce calorie absorption — especially fats — while limiting stomach capacity.
Like RNY Gastric Bypass, the stomach is divided into two parts. The difference is that in Mini Gastric Bypass, the intestine is connected without being divided, resulting in fewer surgical connections. The bypassed intestinal segment is longer than in RNY, enhancing the absorption-reducing effect. However, due to bile flow, there is a small risk of bile reflux.
Scientific studies show that weight loss after Mini Gastric Bypass typically follows this timeline:
-
6 weeks: ~10% of starting weight
-
3 months: ~15%
-
6 months: ~20–25%
-
9 months: ~25–30%
-
12 months: ~35–40%
(Results may vary depending on diet, lifestyle, and physical activity.)
Performed by expert bariatric surgeons in JCI-accredited hospitals using laparoscopic techniques, Mini Gastric Bypass provides a safe, effective, and sustainable solution for long-term weight loss and improved health.
