Mini Gastric Bypass

Mini Gastric Bypass is a type of weight-loss surgery that helps people with obesity. During the procedure, a surgeon creates a small pouch from the stomach and connects it directly to the small intestine, bypassing a majority of the stomach and a portion of the digestive tract. This limits the amount of food you can eat and reduces calorie absorption, leading to significant weight loss. The surgery also affects hormones that regulate hunger and metabolism. It's typically less invasive than traditional gastric bypass, offering a quicker recovery and fewer complications, but still requires lifestyle changes for long-term success.
