Gastric Bypass
Surgery that combines restrictive and malabsorptive techniques that helps reduce food intake and also regulates calorie absorption. It involves separating the stomach into two individual pouches. The newly created upper pouch, which is smaller in size, is linked to the lower part of the small intestine, which is reorganized to join both stomach pouches. Reducing the size of your stomach and redirecting the small intestine are intended to make you eat fewer portions of food and digest food more quickly.
On average, most patients lose 10 to 20 pounds each month for a year. Also, 90% of patients with diabetes achieve normal glucose levels early. This surgical treatment will be indicated in patients with metabolic syndrome (obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension) and its comorbidities such as Gastroesophageal Reflux.

Differences between gastric bypass and mini bypass
Both are bariatric surgeries designed to help people lose weight, but they have some key differences. Gastric bypass is a procedure in which the surgeon creates a small pouch at the top of the stomach and connects it directly to the small intestine, causing food to bypass part of the stomach and intestine. Mini gastric bypass, on the other hand, is a simplified version of this procedure, where a larger pouch is created in the stomach and connected to a more distant part of the small intestine. While both methods can be effective for weight loss, mini gastric bypass is usually a bit quicker and easier to perform, and may have fewer complications. However, choosing between one or the other depends on each patient's specific conditions and their doctor's recommendation.
Importance of clinical evaluation
The choice between these two procedures depends on the patient's clinical profile, including their medical history, current weight, weight loss goals, and existing comorbidities such as diabetes or heart disease. *A comprehensive evaluation by a specialized medical team is crucial. This team includes renowned board-certified bariatric surgeon Dr. Jeffry Romero Manzano as well as a nutritionist, psychologist, and other health professionals, ensuring that the chosen procedure is safe and effective for the patient.
