    Mini gastric bypass surgery is a type of weight loss surgery which has replaced most of the known and gold standard bariatric procedures like Roux en Y Gastric Bypass. Mini gastric bypass has become one of the most preferred weight loss procedures in Punjab . In this procedure, a long pouch along the lesser curvature of the stomach is created before the Pylorus and approx. 2 meters of small intestine is bypassed and anastomosed to the newly created gastric pouch.
    This arrangement causes food to pass directly into the intestine and the gastric juices, bile and pancreatic juice mix with the food in the common channel which is 2 meters away. Mini gastric bypass is known as a malabsorptive procedure and it’s usually recommended in patients who are foody and those who cannot follow strict discipline.
    Patients are recommended to take a high protein diet and regular supplements of calcium, multivitamins and Minerals.
