Mini gastric bypass in Dubai
The Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is a short, simple, safe gastric bypass weight loss surgery gaining popularity in recent years. It has low risk & has excellent long-term weight loss results with minimal pain.
The mini-gastric bypass procedure is restrictive and malabsorptive. It means that the procedure reduces the size of your stomach, restricting the amount you can eat. The procedure also reduces the absorption of food by bypassing up to 6-7 feet of the intestines. This has excellent results for individuals who have diabetes with obesity. It reverses diabetes in 60-80% of patients.
Parameters for Mini Gastric Bypass surgery
According to the 2011 IFSO-APC consensus statements:
- For acceptable Asian candidates with a BMI of 35 and no co-morbidities, MGB surgery can be considered for the treatment of obesity.
- For acceptable Asian candidates with a BMI of 30 or less, Mini Gastric Bypass metabolic surgery should be considered to treat T2DM or metabolic syndrome if lifestyle changes and medical treatment are insufficient.
- For suitable Asian candidates with a BMI of 27.5, the surgical approach may be considered as a non-primary treatment option for poorly controlled T2DM or metabolic syndrome.
What does Mini Gastric Bypass surgery involve?
A gastric bypass is a surgical procedure in which the stomach and intestines are divided. This creates a small stomach pouch with an opening into the rest of the digestive system, thereby bypassing most of the stomach. The procedure reduces the size of the stomach, which in turn reduces hunger and increases feelings of satiety, leading to weight loss.
