What is a mini gastric bypass? I’m going from band to bypass on the 19th. Good luck!

Mini gastric bypass is similar to RNY except that it has 1 joining (anastomosis) instead of 2 with the RNY bypass. Surgery and recovery are a bit quicker as a result.

It has pretty similar results, although RNY is still considered the gold standard.

Hey wow, your surgery is getting super close now!! I wish you the best of luck and I hope it all goes very smoothly and recovery is quick and relatively easy for you. Please do come back here when you feel up to it, and let us know how it all went. ❤

Scheduled for 31 May, revision from band (placed in 2004) to mini gastric bypass.

Started my pre-op diet this morning. It's going to be a rough two weeks, but I am ready!!
