    Mini Gastric Bypass Procedure Details

    Mini gastric bypass in Punjab is very common as it best suits the lifestyle and eating habits of people in this region. In this procedure a long gastric pouch is created along the lesser curvature of the stomach. 180cm – 200cm of the small intestine is bypassed and then the intestine is connected with the new stomach pouch so that food is separated from the gastric and biliary juices. The food and juices start mixing after a bypass of 2 meters of intestine resulting in lesser and delayed absorption of nutrients.

    Side Effects of Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery

    Post mini gastric bypass, patients are required to take a high protein diet and lifelong supplements. In the long run, failure to do so can result in nutritional deficiency and poor outcome of the surgery.

    Is mini gastric bypass reversible / Can I get my mini bypass reversed

    Yes, mini gastric bypass is best known for its reversibility. All our patients are happy after Mini gastric bypass and don’t need reversal. Some patients who need to lose weight for undergoing liver or kidney transplant get reversal of the procedure after they have achieved the desired weight.

    However, if any patient has poor compliance with protein diet or finds it difficult to take supplements or has developed the wrong social habit of smoking and developed marginal ulcers then we can completely reverse it in less than 1 hour.

    Do I need to take supplements after mini gastric bypass

    In mini bypass, we create a bigger anastomosis so that you have freedom to eat and bypass 180 cm of intestine so that your food and gastric juices mixing is delayed. This results in delayed breakdown and absorption of nutrients. You need to take regular intake of supplements lifelong, which include calcium, multivitamins, proteins and Iron to avoid any nutritional deficiency in the body.

    Can I smoke after mini gastric bypass / Smoking after gastric bypass surgery

    One should avoid smoking after bariatric surgery but In gastric bypass and mini gastric bypass its an absolute contraindication. In chronic smokers, there is Ischemia at the site of gastrojejunostomy and patients can develop marginal ulcers which are difficult to heal and may perforate and could be life threatening. For these patients, sleeve gastrectomy or sleeve gastrectomy with bypass procedure is a better option for weight loss.

    Do I have reduced absorption after mini bypass surgery

    Mini gastric bypass is a malabsorptive procedure and causes lesser absorption of food and nutrients to induce weight loss. The weight loss stops after 1 year of mini gastric bypass and the reason is intestinal adaptation. The bypassed intestine increases its absorptive surface area in a year to absorb more nutrients to match body requirement. If you are taking any medications, they will get normally absorbed after 1 year of mini bypass surgery.

    Side effects of mini bypass surgery
    • Nutritional deficiency if you don’t follow dietary guidelines: One should eat a balanced diet and take regular supplements as prescribed by the doctor to avoid any nutritional deficiency post mini gastric bypass.
    • Mild Hair loss: It’s a temporary phase post weight loss with or without bariatric surgery. It can be taken care of by eating a protein rich diet.
    • Increased Flatulence: Usually seen in patients not following dietary guidelines. One of the reasons for increased flatulence can be not chewing the food well or eating too fast without chewing food well.
    • Anemia: Regular testing can be done in patients who are prone to low hemoglobin or iron levels. Minimum once a year blood workup is advised to address iron or any other nutrition deficiency in patient post mini gastric bypass.
    • Loose motions: Usually seen in patients not following dietary guidelines. One of the reasons for loose motions can be taking solid and fluids together. Minimum 30 minute gap should be maintained between taking a solid and a liquid food item. Gulping liquids can also cause loose motions in some of the patients post mini gastric bypass.
    Sex life Bariatric surgery / Sex weakness after Bariatric Surgery

    Many people who are planning to undergo weight loss surgery have the myth that bariatric surgery may cause weakness and have poor sex life after surgery. In more than 90% of patients, the sex life improves after bariatric surgery. Weight loss helps in overall health including sex life of patients in following way

    • Weight loss results in lowering of the estrogen levels which helps in treating infertility in both men and women.

    Can Mini Gastric Bypass cause Type 2 Diabetes Reversal / Type 2 Diabetes remission after Mini Gastric Bypass / Diabetes treatment with mini gastric bypass

    If your BMI > 40 kg/m2 then almost all bariatric procedures are metabolic in nature. Excessive body fats cause insulin resistance in obese patient. Insulin resistance is cause of high blood sugar levels in 85% of patients suffering from type 2 diabetes. Mini gastric bypass causes diabetes reversal by 2 methods – Firstly, weight loss / fat loss reduces insulin resistance and secondly bypass of small intestine increases the incretin effect. The enhanced incretin hormones stimulate pancreas to produce more Insulin. This leads to patients maintaining normal blood sugar levels without any medicines or insulin.

    Skin loosening/ sagging after weight loss surgery

    Most of the obese people undergoing bariatric surgery or Mini Gastric Bypass have concern about skin loosening post weight loss. Not all patients undergoing bariatric surgery have a loose skin problem. The result depends on various factors:

    • Initial weight of the Patient – If you are planning to lose < 35 Kgs then skin sagging is very rare.
    • Regular exercise: Exercising can help you tone body muscles and in turn reduce skin sagging.
    • High protein diet: High protein diet helps in maintaining muscle mass thus reducing skin sagging after fat loss.
    • Age of the Patient – Skin sagging issues is more in old aged patients rather in young patients.
