MORE forums for MGB?

What exactly is the mini gastric bypass? Is it for people that need to loose less weight? Never heard of this. Is it new?

I am a loyal bariatric pal reader/writer, but there just aren't enough MGB patients on here for me to find enough information.

Does anyone else have any other favorite forums for MGB? I am interested having my operation in India or Mexico, maybe even Italy. There is even a doctor in India (i think) that is doing robotic MGBs. I'm off to google now.

Thanks in advance,

Hi did you get your surgery done in I did? I'm considering that too please can you tell me the name of hospital and surgeon. Did your experience go well?

MGB is also know as single-anastomosis gastric bypass. IIRC it was developed by Dr. Rutledge about 20 years ago.

EWL is about the same as with RNY bypass.

I used BariatricPal to go to MX. Dr. Illan was my surgeon. I am 1 week post op.
