Gastric Bypass & Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery

Gastric Bypass is a weight loss procedure, also known as bariatric surgery. In this process, the doctor will make changes to the intestine and stomach of a patient so that there is a modification in how food is absorbed and digested. During this surgery, a section of the stomach is divided and connected to the small intestine. The process will considerably reduce the amount of food that the stomach holds, and this helps in limiting the nutrients and calories absorbed by the body. Due to this, the hormones in the stomach changes, which allows the person that undergoes surgery to suppress their appetite for longer.

The Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) surgery is a procedure that can be completed in a shorter time and it is also reversible. The success rate of this procedure is extremely high, and it acts as an excellent long-term weight loss solution. A laparoscope is used to make precise surgical changes to the stomach in the form of a long slender pouch that holds less food. This part of the stomach is then connected to the small intestine allowing in a bypass for the food. MGB surgery can help the patient reduce about 5-10 Kg of weight per month during the first year.
