J.L. Prado: Mini Gastric Bypass, an Option for Weight Loss in Tijuana
Lose Weight and Regain Your Confidence with Mini Bariatric Surgery
It is a bypass with a single union between the new stomach and the small intestine. This surgery lasts around 45- to one hour in the hands of our experts, we perform an elongated gastric bag similar measurement used in a standard gastric sleeve. Then we connect the small intestine to the new stomach bypassing 60% of the intestine, leaving 40% of intestine useful for nutrient absorption. Therefore, it is a restrictive and malabsorption method. It is an increasingly popular surgery due to its low risk of complications and feasibility, in addition to giving results very similar to the Roux-n-y gastric bypass in which two anastomoses (unions) are performed. This procedure is an excellent choice for patients with diabetes and a minimum case of acid reflux.
