More New Research Confirms the Success of the Mini-Gastric Bypass

New Studies Worldwide Confirm the Success of the Mini-Gastric Bypass! French Study concludes: Laparoscopic Mini-Gastric Bypass is a technically simple, safe, and effective procedure in the treatment of morbid obesity and its associated medical illnesses. Moreover, the procedure is easily reversible laparoscopically when post-operative complication occurs. Study from Beirut Lebanon showed MGB is a safe and effective operation for revision of failed LAP-BAND®. Study from Taiwan showed Mini-Gastric Bypass resulted in significant and sustained weight loss with successful treatment of Diabetes in 87%.

Study Shows Advantages of Mini-Gastric Bypass Over RNY Bypass

- Mini-Gastric Bypass Surgery Proves Effective Over More Invasive RNY (Click Here to Read the Paper) A recent study showed that the rates of hospitalization after MGB drop dramatically, and the surgery itself is shorter, safer and easier to perform than the RNY.
MGB patients had overall low rates of complications. Dr. Rutledge lead author of the study said "Bariatric surgery although valuable can have major risks and complications. Recent studies have shown complications and hospitalization rates of 20-40% after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. The lower risk of complications and re-hospitalization after the Mini-Gastric bypass shows that patients and insurers may have access to a safer and less expensive alternative." So as people continue to look for the quick fix to cut the pounds, the big operation may not result in the biggest results. Sometimes the best rewards come in small - or in this case - "mini" packages.
