What is a Mini Gastric Bypass?
The Mini Gastric Bypass is a weight loss surgery similar to the gastric bypass. The mini-gastric bypass surgery uses both restriction and malabsorption to achieve weight loss. The mini-gastric bypass reduces the stomach size significantly, while also bypassing a large part of the small intestines. This procedure is a newer and less invasive procedure than the gastric bypass, with similar long-term results.
Am I eligible for a Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery?
The first step to determine if you are a good candidate for a Mini Gastric Bypass is getting in touch with one of our patients coordinators to fill a quick Health Questionnaire.

On average people can expect to lose around two to four pounds a week, or eight to 16 pounds a month, for the first six to 12 months following their gastric sleeve surgery.
The main advantage of gastric sleeve surgery is that it does not need to create a new connection between the stomach and small bowel (anastomosis). Long term complications are less likely to occur with the gastric sleeve procedure than they are with gastric bypass surgery. The chance of nutrient deficiency is also less likely with the gastric sleeve surgery than with gastric bypass surgery because there is no malabsorption.
Gastric sleeve recovery time depends on your condition and procedure. If you have gastric sleeve — also known as sleeve gastrectomy — you can usually return home the second day after surgery. Most people return to work or other daily routines in 5 to 10 days.
