Who may be suitable?
As with other bariatric operations, the general starting point is a BMI of 40 or more, or 35–40 with an obesity-related condition. Reflux matters here, because bile reflux is a recognised issue with this operation. Your surgeon decides after assessment.
It is related to the Roux-en-Y gastric bypass but not the same. Gastric sleeve vs gastric bypass compares the options.

Risks and recovery
All surgery carries risks. After a mini gastric bypass they include bleeding, infection, a leak at the connection, blood clots, ulcers, bile reflux and nutritional deficiencies. Supplements are lifelong, with regular blood tests that often cover iron, vitamin B12, calcium and vitamin D.
