Mini gastric bypass surgery in Turkey
The omega or mini gastric bypass: an effective treatment for obesity. Treatment by Dr. Gökçe.
About
There are different variants of the gastric bypass procedure. The omega gastric bypass, also known as the mini gastric bypass, is becoming increasingly popular. The latter name comes from the fact that the procedure is less complicated and therefore reduces the risk of postoperative complications. In contrast to the classic gastric bypass or the gastric sleeve, a mini gastric bypass can be reversed.
While the classic gastric bypass creates two connections between the stomach and small intestine, the mini gastric bypass only creates one. Otherwise, it is the proven combination of stomach reduction and shortening of the intestinal passage, so that fewer nutrients can be absorbed and a feeling of satiety sets in more quickly when eating.
When is a gastric bypass suitable?
BMI under 35?
Then you should consider another treatment. The benchmark for a mini gastric bypass is a BMI of 40 (from 35 with concomitant diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure or sleep apnea)

Untreated eating disorders / pregnancy
Various mental and physical conditions may make it necessary to avoid the mini gastric bypass. Pregnant women should wait until after childbirth and breastfeeding.

FAQ
What are the differences between a mini gastric bypass and a classic gastric bypass?
The mini gastric bypass is a less invasive version of the classic gastric bypass. It requires only one connection between the stomach and small intestine (instead of two) and usually takes less time. In addition, it can be reversed. However, the mini gastric bypass may be less effective for treating acid reflux than the classic gastric bypass.
Who is a candidate for a mini gastric bypass?
The mini gastric bypass is suitable for severely overweight patients (BMI ≥ 40 or ≥ 35 with comorbidities). It is often recommended when patients are seeking a less invasive alternative to the classic gastric bypass and do not have severe reflux problems.
What is the recovery time like after a mini gastric bypass?
The recovery time after a mini gastric bypass is usually shorter than after a standard gastric bypass. Patients can often resume their normal activities after 2-3 weeks, but regular follow-up appointments and an adjusted diet are important for long-term success.
What are the risks of a mini gastric bypass?
As with other surgeries, the risks of a mini gastric bypass include infection, bleeding, and vitamin deficiencies. In addition, there is a lower risk of reflux complications compared to the classic gastric bypass, which is why regular follow-up care is crucial.
