Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass

Laparoscopic Mini Gastric Bypass is a variant of Roux en y gastric bypass. In this surgery, the surgeon creates a small pouch at the top of your stomach. The small intestine is then connected to the new pouch. Food and liquid flow directly from the pouch into this part of the intestine, bypassing most of your stomach. 

Laparoscopic mini gastric bypass is a relatively simple and less complicated procedure, the down time is less and the recovery is also relatively quick. After the surgery, maximum of 3 days stay in the hospital is recommended during which you shall be under 24×7 medical supervision and nursing care to ensure prefect recovery. Post-surgery, our dieticians would give diet plans suitable for you, starting from liquid and pureed food initially and gradually progressing to solid food. You would also get physiotherapy sessions for your faster recovery. Patients need to be on nutritional supplements like iron, calcium, proteins and multivitamins for life.

Laparoscopic mini gastric bypass surgery has received excellent reviews and is considered very safe both in initial stages post-surgery and in the long run. The surgery provides highly reliable weight loss and has complication rate much lesser than other forms of bariatric surgery procedures. On an average, an individual can lose up to 80% of the excess body weight, however, this may vary.
