Mini Gastric Bypass

Mini gastric bypass surgery, which has become quite popular recently and is a frequently preferred method, is actually an alternative method to gastric bypass surgery. The difference of the mini gastric bypass is that it is technically easier and more practical and the operation time is very short. Moreover, when compared to other methods, the risk of complications for the patient is low. With this operation, it is aimed to restrict food intake and ensure healthy weight loss. So, who is the mini gastric bypass applied to? Let's examine it.

To Whom Is Mini Gastric Bypass Applied?

It is possible to say that the mini gastric bypass method, which is mostly preferred in diabetes patients, is more effective than calcic gastric bypass and sleeve gastrectomy surgery. Mini gastric bypass surgery is frequently preferred in insulin-dependent morbidly obese patients, extremely obese patients, and patients with type 2 diabetes. Especially if patients have had sleeve gastrectomy or gastric reduction surgery before, but have gained weight again afterward, this method will be more practical and easier for them. For this reason, it is an operation recommended and preferred by doctors today.

What are the Benefits of Mini Gastric Bypass?

In the first months after mini gastric bypass surgery, patients lose 10 to 15 kilos. Compared to the first months, the rate of weight loss will gradually decrease. However, it should not be forgotten that when compared to sleeve gastrectomy surgery, getting rid of excess weight with this method has a higher success rate. Of course, whichever method you choose, your food intake will be limited. However, your food absorption decreases during gastric bypass surgery. This actually shows why it is better for weight loss than sleeve gastrectomy.

In the first year after surgery, patients lose up to 75% of their excess weight. By the second year, this excess weight loss reaches 80-90%. This is a big step against obesity, and it is also very important for the patient to get rid of the diseases he/she has gained with obesity. A clear improvement is seen in the patient, moreover, besides the physical change, the patient also regains his/her self-confidence. Getting rid of excess weight helps to get rid of diseases as well as helps to eliminate skeletal pain. With all these advantages, mini gastric bypass is frequently preferred.
