The Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is a short, simple, and successful laparoscopic weight loss surgery. It involves the creation of a small, tube-shaped stomach pouch and bypasses a portion of the small intestine, which reduces calorie absorption. This procedure is reversible and can be modified according to the patient's needs.
Success Rate: The success rate of MGB is high, with most patients losing 60-80% of their excess weight within the first year.
Recovery: The hospital stay for MGB is usually 1-2 days. Full recovery, including return to normal activities and work, usually occurs within 1-3 weeks.
