BMI Surgical Institute Weight Loss

What Exactly
is Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass?

A mini gastric bypass – sometimes referred to as an omega loop gastric bypass or one anastomosis gastric bypass – uses a combination of malabsorption and restriction to achieve the result of weight reduction.

The mini-gastric bypass was created to shorten the operating time. Also to simplify the technique, and reduce complications. Recent research demonstrates that it reduces operating time. That may result in equivalent weight loss (some studies show that mini-gastric bypass may result in higher weight reduction). Moreover, it reduces overall complication rates when compared to gastric bypass surgery.

Lose Weight
With The Mini Gastric Bypass

If you’re considering having a Mini Gastric Bypass in Atlanta, here are a few things to consider:

Because a mini gastric bypass closes off a large part of the stomach and delays food from entering, it is able to limit the volume of food that the stomach can hold and decrease food intake. Consequently, a longer feeling of fullness can be felt by the mini gastric bypass patient.

People who perform gastric bypass can lose 60 to 70% of their weight. This mainly happens in the initial year. The rest of the weight loss starts happening in the next 2 years.

Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass in Atlanta:

The Laparoscopic Mini Bypass also bypasses a longer length of small bowel compared to the Roux en Y gastric bypass (RYGB) hence the mild malabsorption.

The mini gastric bypass creates a long stomach pouch. The pouch is about the size of 15 cm approximately, which is divided from the rest of the stomach. No food can then enter the rest of the stomach which is below the staple line. The stomach continues to produce the enzymes and gastric juices. These are important for digestion, and also for the absorption of nutrients.

The pouch in the mini gastric bypass is longer than in the Roux en Y gastric bypass to avoid reflux of bile in the esophagus. The mini gastric bypass is performed with keyhole surgery, usually 4 small incisions, and takes around 60 minutes to complete. The downside of the mini gastric bypass is the reflux of bile. Patients with bile reflux symptoms may need the mini gastric bypass converted to a Roux en Y gastric bypass.

Gastric Bypass surgery is a helpful tool for losing weight. If you use it the right way and follow the advice from the BMI Surgical Institute team, you can lose about 70-75% of the extra weight in your body over 2 years.
