Mini Gastric Bypass Benefits
Mini Gastric Bypass
Patients who undergo a mini gastric bypass usually lose between 80 and 85 percent of their excess weight and are successful at keeping that weight off long-term.
Decreased Risk of Co-morbidities
Perhaps the greatest benefit of the mini gastric bypass is the decreased risk for co-morbidities. Most candidates who undergo this procedure suffer from serious weight-related health conditions like type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and high blood pressure. Patients often see a significant reduction or elimination of these serious conditions as they lose their excess weight.
Shorter Procedure
Traditional gastric bypass surgery is lengthy and often requires a longer hospital stay. Our surgeons can complete the mini gastric bypass procedure in under an hour and most patients only require an overnight stay for recovery.
Faster Recovery
With such a short procedure time and hospital stay, you can expect the overall recovery to be quicker than other procedures. Provided there are no complications, most patients are able to return to work in one to two weeks.
Smaller Incisions
The mini gastric bypass procedure is performed laparoscopically. This means just a couple small incisions are made rather than one large one. As a result, patients have less visible scars and may even enjoy a shorter recovery period.
Fewer Risks
The laparoscope and smaller incisions used with the mini gastric bypass also result in fewer risks. The procedure reduces a patient’s risk for infection, hernia, and other complications that are experienced in patients who undergo traditional gastric bypass surgery.
Reversible
Unlike other types of bariatric surgery, the mini gastric bypass procedure is completely reversible. When complications arise with other procedures, or if the procedure is ineffective, a patient’s options are limited. With the mini gastric bypass, our surgeons can completely reverse the procedure and select an alternative method should complications arise.
Less Expensive
Because the procedure is shorter and requires minimal recovery time in the hospital, mini gastric bypass surgery is less expensive than many other bariatric procedures.
