  • The "mini" gastric ...

    The "mini" gastric bypass is basically a Billroth 2 operation, which was abandoned many years ago because of concerns over bile reflux into the stomach potentially causing cancer many years later.

    The vast majority of bariatric surgeons denounce the MGB for weight loss because of these concerns. The statement that it's less risky comes from MGB surgeons, of course. There are many complications and reversals of the MGB that happen at other hospitals.

    IMO, patients should avoid the MGB.

  • Dr Smith, what do ...

    Dr Smith, what do you think about the mini gastric bypass(MGB)surgery? Is it an overall(including less medical risk)better bypass surgery than the Roux-en-y as I have been told it is?

    PS MGB is only about 17k too! :) I'm interested in it but need more information.
