What is a mini gastric bypass?

[Mrs Noodles]

Hi all

I'm considering wls (gastric sleeve) and since I last posted in 2013 I see a thread has been created for this and I have no idea what it is, can someone please explain it?

Thanks

This is quite informative worth a watch.

Thank you for the link to the video, very informative.

Please can I ask what surgery providers perform this surgery in the UK and do you know how much it costs?

Sorry, I was NHS so don't know about private providers, but I believe only Sunderland and Southampton do the operation on MGB.

Thanks again, I've just looked and healthier weight offer it too so I will discuss it woth them.

When I was looking for revision surgery the MGB is the favoured op for dr chris Byrne in Belgium think he is very experienced at that although I was apprehensive at going abroad many have on here and I may have considered it had I chose that op. I decided on a sleeve and went with mr Li I have posted on your other thread X
