Anastomosis Gastric Bypass in Mumbai
Understanding Anastomosis Gastric Bypass
Anastomosis Gastric Bypass, commonly called Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB), is a bariatric (weight-loss) surgery that reduces your stomach size and reroutes food to a lower part of the intestine. Unlike the Roux-en-Y, it requires only one surgical connection (anastomosis), making it technically simpler, faster, and highly effective. This change limits how much food you can eat while also reducing calorie absorption, helping you achieve significant weight loss and long-term health improvement.
Minimally invasive laparoscopic surgery
Creates a small stomach pouch
Single-loop intestinal bypass
Restricts calories and nutrient absorption
What Difference Does Anastomosis Gastric Bypass Creates?
Anastomosis Gastric Bypass doesn’t just transform how your body handles food - it transforms how you live. Patients often find their energy levels return, everyday mobility improves, and health worries fade. It’s not only about shedding pounds but also about regaining the freedom to enjoy social events, travel, and family time without limitations. It’s about simplicity with impact - offering faster recovery, meaningful health gains, and a new lease on life.

It is often recommended for individuals looking for significant weight loss, quicker recovery, and strong metabolic benefits with fewer surgical steps.
Let’s explore if Anastomosis gastric Bypass is the right solution for you
- BMI ≥40, or BMI ≥35 with conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, or sleep apnea
- Unsuccessful attempts at weight loss through diet, exercise, or medications
- Preference for a simpler, shorter surgery compared to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass
- Commitment to lifestyle changes and long-term follow-up care
How Does This Procedure Work for Weight Loss?
Anastomosis Gastric Bypass works through a combination of restriction and malabsorption. By creating a small pouch, food intake is limited. The intestinal bypass reduces calorie and nutrient absorption, further aiding weight loss. Together, these changes help patients achieve steady and lasting results.
Restricts food intake
Small pouch limits food volume.
Reduces absorption
Shortened digestive path cuts calories.
Strong weight loss results
Significant excess weight loss over 18–24 months.
Simpler process
Only one intestinal connection compared to traditional bypass.
How it works
What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, health assessments, and nutrition planning. The surgery itself usually takes about 1–2 hours and is performed laparoscopically, involving only a single intestinal connection. Most patients stay in the hospital for 2–3 days and return to normal activities within 2–3 weeks.
Before Surgery: Medical evaluations and nutritional guidance
Detailed health checks and personalized diet counseling to prepare you for a safe and effective procedure.
During Surgery: Laparoscopic pouch creation with single anastomosis
A small stomach pouch is created and connected directly to the small intestine using minimally invasive techniques for faster healing.
After Surgery: Diet progression, supplements, and follow-up
Gradual shift from liquid to solid foods, vitamin and mineral supplementation, and regular follow-ups to ensure safe recovery and long-term results.
How Does Anastomosis Gastric Bypass Improve Health Beyond Weight Loss?
This procedure doesn’t only help you lose weight – it brings profound health improvements. Many obesity-related conditions improve or even resolve, restoring quality of life and reducing the risk of future complications.
Type 2 Diabetes
Improved blood sugar control, often without medication.
Sleep Apnea
Reduced breathing difficulties at night.
Hypertension
Lower blood pressure and heart risk.
Less Joint Pain & Improved Mobility
Relief from joint pain and increased stamina.
