Mini gastric bypass surgery is a weight loss surgery that is
similar to other types of gastric bypass surgeries. As in other similar
weight loss procedures, a portion of the stomach is stapled and a
portion of the small intestine is then bypassed. This causes the stomach
to become smaller, which will require that you need less food to feel
full. What makes this type of surgery appealing to many individuals is
the fact that it can be easily reversed at a later date.
Compared to the
typical gastric bypass surgery, this procedure tends to be less
invasive and often requires little to no recovery time. The surgery can
be performed in approximately 40 minutes and the patient is often
released from the hospital the next day.
