Mini Gastric Bypass
Mini Gastric Bypass in Tijuana, Mexico
Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB or OAGB) is a type of surgery for weight loss. It is comparable to the Gastric Bypass surgery but has only one connection to the small intestine.
And instead of using a small pouch such as the Gastric Sleeve , this surgery procedure makes use of a tube-like pouch that is able to hold about 1-2 ounces, limiting how much food you can take in at one time. The small intestine is then looped or attached to a new pouch that is located about six to seven feet from its starting point.
This placement will bypass the part of the intestines, thus allowing for less calories, nutrients, and fats to be absorbed by the body, resulting in weight loss.
Mini Gastric Bypass has two mechanisms of action:
- Restrictive: Creating a smaller stomach pouch (capacity of 1-2 oz.) causes you to eat smaller amounts of food.
- Metabolic: Changing your gut hormones helps you feel full longer, contributes to appetite suppression, and can reverse obesity-caused metabolic syndrome.

Lisa Bearden
The people at Trevita were the absolute best! I did not feel uncomfortable due to language barriers or any other part of our visit! Dr. Sandy was so down to earth and easy to talk to. She helped my mom get her meal from Uber Eats. Enrique and Fernanda were also very helpful with information and patient care. The hotel was great and we took advantage of the massage services at the hotel. I would recommend Trevita to anyone considering this journey.

I had my gastric bypass on 10/10 and I’m already down 35 pounds. When I arrived I was met at the airport by a wonderful lady who took care of our bags and took up to the Quartz hotel. The hotel was beautiful and the staff was super nice and accommodating. The medical facility was as nice as anything in the states and the nurses were always on top of when you needed to take medications. Dr. Sandy was amazing and answered all my questions before I made my decision to go with them to a week after. The Trevita team was really great. Most of people there spoke perfect English and if not there was Google translate. We felt safe around the areas for my support person to go get Tacos or go to the grocery store near by. They also sent us home with medications that were needed back in the states for som much cheaper.My only regret is not doing this sooner.
