What is Minibypass ?

LOSE UP TO 85% OF EXCESS WEIGHT

Minigastric bypass surgery (MGB), also known as single-anastomosis gastric bypass, is a type of weight loss surgery that shares similarities with traditional gastric bypass, but involves a simplified and potentially less invasive approach.

How does it work?

We make the stomach smaller:

Imagine that your stomach is like a big bag. In the surgery, we turn it into a much smaller pouch. This way, when you eat, you get full faster and eat less.

We change the path that food takes:

Then, we connect that little stomach pouch directly to a later part of the intestine.

With this, food spends less time in contact with the part of the intestine that absorbs calories and fats.

That means you absorb fewer calories and sugar, which helps with weight loss and improves conditions like diabetes.

Weight loss mechanism:

  1. Reducing the size of the stomach makes you eat less because you feel full sooner.
  2. Hypoabsorption that causes your body to absorb fewer calories.
  3. Hormonal Changes.

    a. When food reaches the lower part of the intestine more quickly, the body produces hormones that:
    • They help control blood sugar (which is why it improves diabetes).
    • They reduce hunger (lower the appetite hormone called ghrelin).
    • They improve metabolism and fat burning.

That's why you not only lose weight: it also improves diabetes, blood pressure, cholesterol, and all related diseases, that is, your overall metabolism.
