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.
