Mini gastric bypass is a laparoscopic procedure and surgery typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes. The procedure is minimally invasive to ensure quicker healing and minimal scarring. You will stay overnight at our comfortable surgical facility following surgery, and you will be discharged the next day.
Here’s a breakdown of the key steps that take place during the procedure:
Dividing the Stomach:
A portion of the stomach (approx. 25%) is separated from the remainder of the stomach.
Creating a Pouch:
The remaining section of stomach, now a smaller pouch, is then joined to the small intestine above a newly created surgical connection, as shown in the illustration below.
Bypassing the Small Intestine:
The remaining section of stomach, now a smaller pouch, is then joined to the small intestine above a newly created surgical connection, as shown in the illustration below.
As a result of the reconnection, most of the stomach and a section of the small intestine are bypassed, meaning they are no longer involved in the digestion and absorption of food.
Mini gastric bypass addresses weight loss in two primary ways:
Reduced Food Intake:
The smaller stomach pouch fills up quickly, sending signals of satiety to the brain, making you feel satisfied with smaller portions of food.
Limited Calorie Absorption:
By rerouting the digestive system to bypass a portion of the small intestine, the number of calories your body absorbs is reduced.
Mini gastric bypass offers a range of potential benefits, including:

Hospital Stay:
Typically, you’ll be monitored overnight and discharged the following day.
Returning to Work and Daily Activities:
Most patients return to work and light activity within 10 days. However, avoiding strenuous activity for at least three to four weeks is important.
Dietary Progression:
You’ll follow a structured diet plan after surgery. You’ll start with liquids and gradually progress to soft foods over the first few weeks. It typically takes four to six weeks to comfortably return to a regular diet.
