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.
Considering Medical Tourism?
ALO Bariatrics understands that bariatric surgery in the U.S. and Canada can be expensive, but we want you to be able to lose weight and live a healthier life. We are proud to offer procedures like gastric sleeve, Roux-en-Y, and mini gastric bypass surgery at low prices without sacrificing quality or safety.
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.

Am I a Candidate for Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery? What We Will Consider
Your Health
Aside from your weight and any weight-related medical concerns, patients should be healthy enough to undergo surgery. Patients should also quit smoking and drinking alcohol long before their procedure.
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.

Maintaining Your Results and Living the Life You've Envisioned
After a surgery like mini gastric bypass or gastric sleeve, you will be expected to follow some dietary and lifestyle changes, such as:
Eating a Well-Balanced Diet
Nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables should make up the majority of your diet. Fats and sugary foods are high in calories and should be avoided because your body now has a limited amount of calories you can consume. We also recommend taking vitamin supplements to ensure your body is getting everything it needs.
Staying Hydrated
Patients should aim to drink about two liters of water a day to prevent vision issues and dry skin. Drinking water between meals can also keep your hunger at bay and minimize your desire to snack.
Following an Exercise Routine
Once you've been cleared by your doctor, exercise will help you lose weight faster and keep it off. Many patients walk, perform yoga, or attend resistance training classes about four months after surgery.
Truly Transformative Results Can Be Yours
This patient was unhappy with her excess weight, so she met with our doctors in Tijuana to explore bariatric surgery options like gastric sleeve, Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, and mini gastric bypass. After a successful surgery, she was able to lose her excess weight and was inspired to live a healthier life.
"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!" David Alexander
Is Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery
Safer Than Gastric Bypass Surgery?
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.
