Written By Anita Ginsburg / Reviewed By Ray Spotts

Obesity can adversely affect a person's physical and mental health, but some people struggle to drop the weight no matter what they do. One option for those who struggle to lose excess weight is surgery to help them on their weight loss journey.

One of the most popular surgeries is the mini-gastric bypass. Here are some of the things you should know about mini-gastric bypass surgery and how it can help you.

About Mini-Gastric Bypass Surgery

Mini-gastric bypass surgery is a weight loss surgery that works by tying off the stomach into two different sections, making the stomach smaller. The surgeon will also properly reroute the small intestine. The patient will not be able to eat as much as they could before which will help them reduce portion sizes and calorie intake. 

After surgery, you will be on a liquid diet for about two weeks before gradually going back to regular food. You will lose weight quickly, but you must be able to keep it off with regular diet and exercise. The procedure is generally considered more favorable than a traditional gastric bypass surgery since it requires less time and less technical skill. 

If you’re considering this treatment, you should do your research. While there are a lot of resources out there, one good option is to watch a MGB surgery webinar.

This presentation will give you a lot of information on the procedure, the benefits and disadvantages of this treatment compared to others, and how you can prepare for it. Talk to your doctor about the information you learn in the webinar and whether this treatment would be a good fit for you.
