The Mini-Bypass Gastric is a mixed type procedure that combines 2 mechanisms: Restriction (a smaller stomach is created) and Malabsorption (creating a «bridge» between the stomach and the intestine).

Once the smaller stomach is created, the patient only consumes a small amount of food since satiety is favored, and with the «bridge» the food is not absorbed entirety, which causes major weight loss. Mini-gastric bypass is also a procedure with metabolic effect; It causes a beneficial hormonal change that increases the production of other hormones that help stimulate the metabolism.

This procedure has a very high success rate and also a very favorable effect in diabetic patients.
