Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery

Service Description

Mini gastric bypass surgery (MGB), also known as one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB), is a highly effective bariatric procedure that combines stomach reduction with digestive rerouting. It promotes powerful, sustainable weight loss and major improvements in metabolic health. During surgery, a small, tube-like stomach pouch is created and connected directly to the small intestine, bypassing part of the bowel. This limits both food intake and calorie absorption, while also triggering hormonal changes that help regulate hunger, satiety, and blood sugar control.
