Which diseases are linked with obesity and when is mini-gastric bypass surgery required?

Obesity can lead to many grave diseases which is why it is pertinent that people understand the importance of staying fit. Now, being fat and being obese are two different things and one must understand that. Body Mass Index (BMI) is one way of knowing whether you are fat or obese. If you have the Body Mass Index (BMI) that is lower than 30 then you are fat however, if your Body Mass Index is more than 30 then you are obese. An obese person is more prone to diseases that are mentioned below:

Mini gastric bypass is done to prevent all the above-mentioned problems from advancing.

What is a mini gastric bypass?

Mini-gastric bypass (MGB) is a bariatric metabolic procedure that is minimally invasive, short, trouble-free, and effective. It is a laparoscopic weight loss surgery with a slight variation to gastric bypass surgery. It is known to provide long-term results that are superior to other weight loss methods and also have relatively low risks attached to it. It is a promising, low-failure bariatric procedure that has been performed throughout the world and people have benefitted from it.

What is the procedure of the mini-gastric bypass?

Mini gastric bypass is a malabsorptive procedure that limits the absorption of calories and nutrients by making the food pass directly through the stomach and into the mid-portion of the small intestine. Now, this is done by creating a narrow gastric tube and joining it to the middle of the small intestine.

The difference between mini gastric bypass and other bariatric surgeries is that the pouch that is created by dividing the stomach into a large and a much smaller portion is relatively bigger and the anastomosis between the pouch and the intestine is also wider. This helps the patient eat less by making them feel full quickly. However, it still allows patients to eat more quantity of food than after an RYGB.

Who needs a mini gastric bypass?

This surgery isn’t for every person who is severely overweight, but for people who have tried weight loss methods such as dieting and exercise and failed. It is usually advised to people that have the:

  • Body Mass Index 40 or higher (extremely obese)
  • Body Mass Index of 35 to 39.9 (obese) having severe weight-related health issues like type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, severe sleep apnea etc.

Screening is done to see if you qualify for the surgery or not.

Are there any risks associated with this procedure?

Following are the risks attached with mini-gastric bypass:

  • Digestive problems
  • Ulcers
  • Bleeding
  • Blood clot
