Mini gastric bypass surgery is one of the most common and safe operations that obesity surgeons may take to help some people lose weight without having to follow harsh diets, and control health problems that may be associated with weight gain, such as high blood pressure and diabetes.
Mini gastric bypass surgery is similar to the traditional gastric bypass, but it is better and may involve less risks. It involves making one intra-abdominal connection (Anastomosis) rather than two connections, as in the traditional gastric bypass, resulting in reduced stomach size, thus reducing the amount of food consumed by the patient and reduce the absorption volume of some materials. Mini gastric bypass takes less time to complete than traditional one.
