Mini Gastric Bypass / One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass

Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery In Delhi

The mini-gastric bypass is also called anastomosis gastric bypass. This procedure is a combination of a gastric sleeve and a standard gastric bypass. Indications for the procedure include:

  • BMI > 35 with or without obesity-associated health conditions (diabetes, sleep apnoea, hypertension, heart disease, cancer, etc.)

  • BMI 30 with obesity-associated health conditions

During the procedure, general anaesthesia is administered and multiple small incisions are made on your abdomen. Some small instruments and a laparoscope —- which is a thin tube fitted with a light and camera on the end — are inserted through these incisions to get a clear and magnified view of your stomach. The size of your upper stomach is reduced so that it looks like a narrow tube or sleeve and can hold only a limited amount of food. The opening of the stomach is then attached to the loop of the intestine so that food can bypass the lower stomach, duodenum, and a portion of the small intestine (omega loop). The procedure can take about an hour. The incisions are closed and dressed. 

The advantages of the procedure include:

  • The procedure is simple and is completed in a short time

  • Fully reversible procedure

  • Improvement in obesity-related comorbidities

  • Hunger pangs are reduced

  • You will feel a full stomach even after having limited quantities of food

  • You may be advised to take multivitamins and mineral supplements life-long, to avoid the risk of malnutrition.
