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.

WHAT WE WILL CONSIDER
Is SILS worth the added cost?
This varies from patient to patient based on their goals. While an additional $1,500 may not seem worth it to some people, the ability to be shirtless or wear certain tops without any visible scars may be worth the price to you. Keep in mind that even with the added SILS charge, you still pay less for surgery if you're visiting from across the border thanks to the exchange rate in Mexico.
Your Expectations
While bariatric surgery can have amazing results, you will be responsible for maintaining them. You will have to follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly to make the most of your transformation.
Your BMI
If you have a BMI of 40 or higher or a BMI of 35 or higher with a weight-related medical condition, you could be a candidate for bariatric surgery.

“My results are more than I imagined was possible. I’m down 155 pounds in 6 months. I went to an annual screening that my employer requires and the numbers were the best in 30 years. The staff was professional and efficient 6 months ago as well. My biggest regret is that I waited so long to get the surgery!”

Is Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery Safer Than Gastric Bypass Surgery?
According to Obesitycoverage.com
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.
More Differences Between Mini Gastric Bypass and Gastric Bypass
Less Time in Surgery
Mini gastric bypass surgery performed by your ALO Bariatrics surgeon can take about an hour. A regular gastric bypass can take up to four hours.
Fewer Complications
Since mini bypass surgery involves less rerouting of the intestinal tract, it is a simpler form of bariatric surgery. This reduces the possibility of complications.
Better Results
Though it depends on the individual, mini gastric bypass surgery may actually produce greater weight loss results than a regular gastric bypass procedure.
