Gastric Bypass Surgery Information

Mini Gastric Bypass

Mini Gastric Bypass is a short, simple, successful and inexpensive laparoscopic gastric bypass weight loss surgery. The operation usually takes only 30 min., hospitalization less than 24 hours. The Mini Gastric Bypass is low risk, has excellent long term weight loss, minimal pain and can be easily reversed or revised.

While controversy does surround bariatric surgery of all kinds, MGB has been found to be safer than other kinds of bariatric surgery and many patients find that the benefits outweigh the risks.

The relative weights of the risks and benefits will differ for each patient. Anyone considering MGB (or any other bariatric surgery), in cooperation with his or her family doctor and a doctor qualified to perform MGB, should make every effort to learn about how the surgery fits with his or her lifestyle.
