Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery Procedures:
Creating a Small Pouch:
Similar to the traditional gastric bypass, a small stomach pouch is
created by dividing the stomach, typically along the greater curvature.
Bypassing a Portion of the Small Intestine:
The small intestine is then divided, and the lower end is connected
to the small stomach pouch. This creates a bypass, reducing the
absorption of calories and nutrients.
Reconnecting the Intestine:
The upper part of the divided small intestine is reconnected
to the lower part, creating a Y-shaped configuration.
Recommendations:
The Mini Gastric Bypass may be recommended for
individuals who meet certain criteria:
BMI (Body Mass Index):
Generally, individuals with a BMI above a
certain threshold, often 30 or higher.
Obesity-Related Health Conditions:
Especially if there are obesity-related health conditions
like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, or sleep apnea.
Previous Unsuccessful Attempts:
For those who have not had success with
non-surgical weight loss methods.
Potential Benefits
Weight Loss:
The procedure promotes weight loss by restricting the amount
of food the stomach can hold and reducing nutrient absorption.
Improvement in Health Conditions:
Some individuals experience improvement or resolution of
obesity-related health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes.
Considerations:
Risks:
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including
infection, bleeding, and nutritional deficiencies.
Commitment to Lifestyle Changes:
Long-term success requires a commitment to a healthy lifestyle,
including a balanced diet and regular physical activity.

Gastric Bypass Before & After Photos
The photos taken before the mini gastric bypass and after a few months showcase the incredible results of this procedure. Weight loss improves other health conditions and overall look by reducing the stress on joints and an improved posture.
Before The Operation
It’s best to avoid greasily and junk food a week before your operation day. It’s better to incorporate more liquid into your diet for easier digestion and cleanse. If you smoke or consume alcohol regularly, take a break around one week before your operation. Incorporate more soups and vegetables into your diet towards your operation date. Drink more liquids with every meal.
You will be admitted to our hospital upon your arrival. We will do the bloodwork and the necessary tests to prepare you for the operation.
A mini gastric bypass patient starts their recovery period with an all-liquid diet, followed by mashed foods. The patient can begin eating solid foods after the approval of their dietician. Light exercises are also recommended to keep the weight down and continue losing weight.
