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.
