Get on your way to a healthy, active lifestyle sooner with a mini gastric bypass surgery—a less invasive alternative to the traditional gastric bypass procedure.
Start your journey with a no cost, no obligation consultation.
Developed nearly 25 years ago, the mini gastric bypass technique is a less-invasive alternative to the more complicated gastric bypass. It divides and redirects about 25% of your stomach to your small intestine, creating a small pouch and bypassing a portion of the digestive system.
Women and men who choose Surgical Solutions Network can typically book their surgeries within 4 to 6 weeks of their free consultation with one of our weight loss surgeons. Consultations usually occur less than a week after your first contact with Surgical Solutions Network. Weight loss patients who use Canada's public healthcare system (OHIP) can expect to wait from 2 to 5 years for surgery, a delay that can have serious consequences for people with underlying health conditions.
At Surgical Solutions Network, our world-class surgeons perform a range of weight loss surgeries. We don't take a cookie-cutter approach and your surgeon determines which procedure is right for you based on your goals, medical history, and physical condition. Excellent mini gastric bypass candidates:
The recovery following a mini gastric bypass depends on the patient's physical condition before the procedure. Our surgeons recommend that patients begin walking as much as 30 minutes daily as soon as they are able. Patients should avoid lifting more than 10 to 15 pounds for 2 weeks and not resume strenuous exercise for at least 3 to 4 weeks.

Even though it is possible to reverse the procedure, patients who choose to get a mini gastric bypass procedure should expect the changes to be permanent. Revision surgery performed by a skilled surgeon is possible, but it is uncommon and patients may regain some or all of the weight that they've lost
