Tens of thousands of obese individuals worldwide have lost weight by undergoing mini gastric bypass surgery. They have significantly decreased the risks of various health complications, including type II diabetes, heart failure, and more. However, the cost of weight loss surgery can be a financial burden.
In the United States, a mini gastric bypass can cost upwards of $22,000; in Mexico, surgery packages start at $5,795. This article highlights some of the most affordable destinations for the procedure.
What is the Mini Gastric Bypass?
Known medically as the one-anastomosis surgery, the Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is a popular modification of the RNY gastric bypass. This procedure is a viable option as a primary surgical treatment of obesity and as a revisional option to rescue previous failed surgeries like Gastric Sleeve.
In the single anastomosis gastric bypass procedure, the surgeon creates a mini stomach pouch as a long narrow tube and attaches it to the small intestine laparoscopically. This process reduces the stomach size, making the patient feel full sooner while eating.
The University Hospital of Patras found that six years after mini bypass surgery, patients had similar results to a duodenal switch and better results than an RNY gastric bypass.
If you are considering bariatric surgery, mini bypass surgery is an effective alternative to other weight loss surgeries. See if you pre-qualify today.
