Mini Gastric Bypass
Are you hesitant to undergo gastric bypass surgery for weight loss because you are afraid of complications?
A bariatric procedure called a mini gastric bypass can be as successful as a gastric bypass but is less invasive and carries fewer risks.
Learn how a mini gastric bypass performed at ALO Bariatrics in Tijuana, Guadalajara, and Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, can help you lose weight.
Is Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery
Safer Than Gastric Bypass Surgery?
How Does Bariatric Bypass Surgery Achieve Weight Loss?
Both regular gastric bypass surgery and mini gastric bypass surgery follow the same basic steps:
First, your board-certified ALO Bariatrics surgeon will divide your stomach into a large section and a small section.
Then, the smaller section is turned into a walnut-sized pouch, which will be attached to a significantly shortened section of your small intestine.
Food will bypass the larger section of your stomach, enter directly into the small pouch, and then pass through your reduced intestines.
This decreases the amount of food you can eat before feeling full, as well as the number of calories your body is able to absorb.
If you follow our lifestyle and dietary plans, you should experience a significant amount of weight loss over the next several months.

Mini Gastric Bypass and Gastric Bypass Differences
The main difference between mini gastric bypass and gastric bypass is the amount of small intestine rerouting.
Instead of cutting away a large section of existing intestine, during a mini gastric bypass your ALO Bariatrics surgeon will simply attach your newly created stomach pouch further down your intestinal line, instantly bypassing several feet.
Your ALO Bariatrics surgeon can use the latest laparoscopic techniques for your weight loss surgery, which are less invasive, result in less scarring, and can shorten recovery time. We also use specialized techniques that reduce the risk of bleeding and leaking.
