Mini gastric Bypass, also called One-anastomosis gastric bypass, is a surgical treatment of obesity. A person feels fuller faster i.e. by eating less food.
During operation, the surgeon first divides the stomach laparoscopically and then connects its initial part to the short intestine, reducing stomach size overall. This is a revolutionary Bariatric Surgery — results in substantial and long-term weight loss. Plus, it involves a shorter operating time and is less invasive.

Procedure:
It’s a major surgery therefore it is very important to find an experienced professional to perform it. In general, mini-gastric bypass surgery involves the following steps:
- The surgeon makes five small incisions in the abdomen and inserts a laparoscope.
- Then he cuts the longitudinal part of the abdomen to make a new, smaller pouch. Now there are two parts in the stomach. First, a narrow tube also called a mini stomach, and second, a large part of your stomach that remains healthy but is now “not functioning,” which means it no longer processes food.
- Next, the initial part of the small intestine is cut and sewed to the mini-stomach. This allows the food to move directly into the intestine, escaping the absorption of calories and fat.
