Mini Gastric Bypass in 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.
Benefits
- Typically lose between 60-75% of their excess body weight.
- Improves health, mobility and cognitive functions.
- Improves most obesity-related comorbidities like T2DM, high blood pressure, lipid disorder, triglycerides disorder, severe joint disease, obesity-related severe psychological problems, sleep apnea, chronic lumbar pain, and fatty liver.
- Minimally invasive procedure (laparoscopic, the surgeon only needs to make a few small incisions in your abdomen to operate).
- Stops or decreases the consumption of medications.
- Low risk of complications compared to other procedures like Cholecystectomy or Hysterectomy.
- Reduction in hunger sensation.
- Higher quality of sleep.

FAQs About Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery in Mexico
Is it painful?
Your comfort matters to us and we try to minimize any pain you might have. Typically there is only minimal residual pain. While not painful, some have experienced bloating after the procedure.
How long does a Mini Gastric Bypass last?
Those patients who stick to the guidelines can expect to lose approximately 60-75% of their excess weight over a two-year period, with all the attendant health benefits that this weight loss brings with it. Maximum weight loss occurs between 12-24 months after the procedure and, sometimes, the patient will gain a little weight after this ‘peak’ of weight loss has been reached. However, over a ten-year period, most patients will maintain a loss of about 70% of their excess weight. (Source: Clinic Hunter)
