Mini-Gastric Bypass Surgery

What Is Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery?
Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery (MGB) is a effective, relatively low-risk, and inexpensive procedure. The mini gastric bypass was originally developed by Dr. Robert Rutledge in 1997 to reduce operating time, simplify the procedure and reduce complications.
The mini gastric bypass combines both “restrictive” and “malabsorptive” components to promote rapid weight loss.
This means that the procedure reduces the size of your stomach and restricts the amount of food you can eat. Mini gastric bypass surgery also alters gut hormones and reduces absorption of food by bypassing up to 6 feet of intestines.
Mini Gastric Bypass Can Help You Overcome Your Struggle with Obesity
The mini gastric bypass procedure is also known under another name: the Bilroth II procedure. It is a bariatric surgery that aims to make the gastric bypass an easier procedure to perform and recover from. It was developed in 1997 by Dr. Robert Rutledge.
