Mini Gastric Bypass, also known as One-Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB), is a minimally invasive bariatric surgery designed to support significant and long-term weight loss. During the procedure, the surgeon creates a smaller stomach pouch and connects it to a section of the small intestine, reducing food intake and altering nutrient absorption. It may also help improve obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnea.
Patients with Severe Obesity
Individuals with severe obesity who have not achieved sufficient or lasting weight loss through diet, exercise, or other weight-management approaches.
Patients with Obesity-Related Conditions
People whose obesity is associated with conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, or other significant health problems.
Patients Seeking Long-Term Weight Management
Individuals who are medically suitable for bariatric surgery and are prepared to follow long-term dietary, nutritional, lifestyle, and medical recommendations.
Comprehensive Bariatric Evaluation
Your bariatric team assesses your BMI, medical history, nutritional status, existing health conditions, medications, and readiness for long-term lifestyle changes.
Stomach Pouch & Intestinal Bypass
Under general anesthesia, the surgeon creates a long, narrow stomach pouch and connects it to a section of the small intestine through a single surgical connection, reducing food intake and nutrient absorption.
Recovery & Long-Term Support
After surgery, you gradually progress through different stages of diet while receiving nutritional guidance, vitamin supplementation, exercise recommendations, and regular medical follow-up.
