I'm having a 'mini gastric bypass' on Jan 5th. Has anyone any experience with this particular op? I am so scared!

I had RNY 10/24/16. I've never heard of mini bypass. What is it?

I had mini gastric bypass on December 12th. Mini gastric bypass is similar to gastric bypass. One of the differences is the way the pouch is made. It is made from a different part of the stomach that resembles the sleeve pouch, except it's still the same size as the pouch made with the bypass. The other difference is that there is only one joining, or anastomosis, instead of two. It's less chance of complications and it is just as effective as gastric bypass. It works the same way.

I'm having an MGB on the 19th. It seems it is a less known procedure as I haven't seen many posts about it in this forum. I am excited though!

How was the recovery? I've read so many posts on here of some pretty terrible post op experiences.

Hi everyone, I'm jumping on an old thread to ask if anyone had experience with how it was taking meds immediately after surgery. I have a small tablet I must take everyday (not bariatric related). Can I still take it even straight after surgery? I'm going to ask my consultant but I don't want to sound like a dill.
