Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery
While a full gastric bypass can help you shed significant weight, not every patient is up for such an intense surgical procedure.

What Makes Mini Gastric Bypass Different?
While similar to a traditional gastric bypass treatment, the mini gastric bypass takes less time to perform and is also simpler, which reduces the chance of complications.
With the mini gastric bypass, the stomach is divided into two pouches and the small intestine is rerouted. The smaller stomach restricts the amount of food eaten while rerouting the small intestine reduces the calories absorbed by the body. The procedure allows you to lose weight faster because you will eat less and absorb fewer calories.
The traditional full-bypass method, also called the Roux-en-Y, requires more intestinal rerouting and a longer and more complex bariatric surgery, which increases the risk of complications. In addition, the full-bypass method is not reversible.
The Basics of Mini Gastric Bypass
Listen to a brief explanation of the mini gastric bypass procedure, an alternative to a full gastric bypass. This overview includes information on how the mini gastric bypass promotes weight loss, its benefits, and who is a good candidate for the surgery. We can review candidacy during a visit to our bariatric surgery practice.
"I Am So Happy Now!" Testimonials From a Patient After Visiting Our Tijuana, Mexico, Facility
"I have been struggling with my weight for years and being on my feet makes it worse. I heard about Dr. Verboonen through a friend and decided to do their free consultation. I was very happy they explained each option to me in detail which helped a lot. They said the average person loses about 30 lbs in 10 weeks. Not only was the customer service great, I lost 15 lbs in two weeks without being hungry. Dr. V and his entire staff are friendly and pay close attention to your wants and needs. I am so happy now!"

A Faster, Safer Method for Weight Loss Less Invasive Surgery
A major benefit of this weight loss surgery is that you lose more weight with each passing day because you will eat less and absorb fewer calories.
Some patients have reported a 30-pound loss in as little as one month.
The effectiveness of this bariatric method relies on combining the benefits of Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, the traditional method, with a less invasive laparoscopic surgery that uses small incisions. The procedure is not as challenging as traditional Roux-en-Y and is associated with fewer complications.
How Is the Surgery Performed? A Simple 2-Step Surgery
The remaining part of the stomach and the intestine that is bypassed are not removed, however they are no longer used in the digestive process.

A Mini Gastric Bypass Involves Less Risk Than a Full Gastric Bypass
Unlike the traditional gastric bypass surgery, the mini gastric bypass features less rerouting of the intestinal tract. Compared to full gastric bypass surgery, mini gastric bypass surgery is less invasive and is associated with fewer complications. While a gastric bypass is a safe procedure, patients who come to our Tijuana, Mexico, facility are more at ease knowing there is less risk with this alternative gastric bypass treatment.
Is the Mini Gastric Bypass Method Safe?
The mini gastric bypass is laparoscopic, which means it is guided by a small video camera that is inserted through small entry points. This is significantly less invasive than a traditional bypass, which uses a large incision.
In addition to the larger incision, the traditional gastric bypass method is also a technically challenging weight loss surgery. It carries a 7 percent complication risk. In contrast, the mini gastric bypass is quicker, technically easier, and the complication rate is just 2.9 percent.
What Happens During the Mini Gastric Bypass?
We use advanced techniques during the mini gastric bypass process to ensure the best results.
An Experienced Bariatric Surgeon Unmatched Before and After Care

No other Dr. in tijuana would devote himself to your well being. I found Dr. Verboonen on a fan base on facebook and over 50 women would continue to praise this good doctor. Amazing doctor for sure, but now that I have lost almost 44 pounds, I am now a fan of his, too.
