The Mini Gastric Bypass
(MGB)
The Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is a short,
simple, successful and inexpensive laparoscopic gastric bypass procedure.
Typically, the operation usually takes 30 minutes and hospitalization
is less than 24 hours. The Mini Gastric Bypass is low risk, has excellent
long term weight loss, minimal pain and can be easily reversed or revised.
