Mini Gastric Bypass involves making 15-18 CM of gastric tube and bypassing or attaching 180-200 CM of small intestine from it’s origin to gastric tube. So, there is small restrictions of food as stomach size is small & Bypassed intestine doesn’t get digestive juices, which helps in weight loss.
In common language, this operation is mix of half sleeve as long tube is created and half bypass as intestine is bypassed but only one anastomoses or connection is made not two like standard Bypass. This makes patient to eat less and as all food are not getting absorbed because of bypass which further helps in weight loss.
