Why is the mini gastric bypass?

Small stomach bypass: 90% of stomach is excluded with less than 10% stomach gastro intestinal continuity established , now stomach is small , called mini gastric by pass.

One less connection: Mgb was originally coined to describe a method of gastric bypass that connects the stomach pouch to a loop of small intestine - rather than a limb of intestine that is " defuntionalized" for a distance before the reconnection down further to allow for the union of food and digestive juices.

Mini gastric bypass: The mini gastric bypass is not endorsed by any asmbs or any of the top academic bariatric surgery programs in the country. It is safe, but it is basically a billroth 2 operation which can cause bile reflux. The fix for that problem is a roux-en-y gastric bypass meaning that for 50 years we have known that a roux-en-y is better than a billroth 2. The b2 is just easier for the surgeon to do.

See below plz: It is a modification of gastric bypass. It is popular in middle east and India. It is not favored by American surgeons because of risk of bile reflux. Insurance providers in USA do not usually cover it.
