Gastric Sleeve Surgery (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) has become the most popular option in the bariatric surgeon community due to its high levels of long term success and its quick post-surgical recovery. Gastric Sleeve is a surgical procedure performed laparoscopically in which the size of the stomach is reduced by up to 80%. The success of this surgery is not only tied to its restrictive nature but also because of the decrease of Ghrelin, the hormone that regulates appetite.

Mini Gastric Bypass is a combined surgical procedure as it combines two mechanisms: Restriction (by creating a small and thinner stomach) and malabsorbtion (by creating a “bridge) between the stomach and the intestine). HOW DOES IT WORK? By creating a small and thin stomach (approximately 100 ml) and since there is a feeling of fullness, the patient only consumes a small amount of food. Thanks to the “bridge” food is not absorbed completely resulting in weight loss. Are you a candidate for a Mini Gastric Bypass?
