Mini Gastric Bypass: Laparoscopic & Robotic Weight Loss Surgery
What is This Procedure?
The Mini Gastric Bypass is a variation of traditional gastric bypass surgery, where a loop of the small intestine is connected to the stomach pouch at a distance of 150 to 200 cm. This procedure effectively aids in weight loss by reducing the amount of food the body can absorb.
Main Features of the Surgery
The Mini Gastric Bypass offers faster results compared to traditional gastric bypass surgery. At the Digestive Health Institute, the procedure is performed using advanced laparoscopic and robotic techniques, ensuring a quicker recovery and minimal scarring.
Who is It Recommended For?
The Mini Gastric Bypass is ideal for patients over 50 who do not suffer from gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). It may also be recommended for individuals taking multiple antidepressants or antipsychotic medications.
Dietary Requirements
Before undergoing bariatric surgery at the Digestive Health Institute in Mumbai, all patients must follow a 7-day liquid diet as prescribed by our bariatric nutritionists. Liquid diet options are available through the SoulFuel Cafe at the DHI Centre.
Post-surgery, we provide comprehensive care through our Win-Life Club sessions. These group sessions, conducted by our bariatric nutritionists, educate patients on how to achieve the best results from their weight loss surgery at specific intervals after the procedure. Patients follow a transitional diet, progressing from a liquid diet to a semi-solid diet, and eventually to solid foods over a 30-day period post-surgery.
