Single Anastomosis โ Simpler, Faster, and Powerful
Understanding Mini Gastric Bypass
Mini Gastric Bypass (OAGB) is a technically simplified version of the classic bypass, offering similar weight loss and metabolic benefits with a shorter operative time.
Your Consultation in Istanbul:
- Procedure Comparison: Understanding why OAGB uses one surgical connection (anastomosis) instead of two, and how this impacts recovery.
- Diabetes Impact Review: Assessing the strong hormonal response that makes OAGB a top choice for type 2 diabetes remission.
- Reflux Screening: Ensuring you don’t have severe pre-existing bile reflux, which might make the classic bypass a safer option.
- Limb Length Calculation: Discussing how the bypassed intestinal segment is measured based on your BMI and metabolic goals.
| Feature | Mechanism | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Single Loop | Simpler Connection | Faster Surgery |
| Intestinal Bypass | Malabsorption | Rapid Weight Loss |
| Gut Hormones | Metabolic Reset | Diabetes Remission |
High-Volume Precision for OAGB
Surgical Excellence
Our bariatric surgeons are experts in the One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass, performing hundreds of these procedures annually with a focus on long-term safety.
Technical Highlights:
- Longer Gastric Pouch: Creating a narrow, tubular pouch from the lesser curvature of the stomach for optimal restriction.
- Laparoscopic Ease: The procedure is completed through five tiny incisions, leading to minimal postoperative discomfort.
- Anti-Reflux Suturing: Using specialized techniques at the connection site to minimize the chance of bile reflux into the pouch.
- Intraoperative Verification: Every single anastomosis is tested with a pressure leak test before the surgery is finalized.
| Procedure | Duration | Hospital Stay | Complexity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mini Bypass (OAGB) | 1-1.5 Hours | 2-3 Nights | Moderate |
| Classic RYGB | 2-2.5 Hours | 3 Nights | High |
| Revision OAGB | 2 Hours | 3 Nights | Complex |

Recovery & Nutrition
Recovery from OAGB is remarkably fast, but the nutritional changes are permanent. We provide a lifetime support system to ensure you thrive in your new lifestyle.
Post-Op Nutrition Milestones:
- Rapid Mobilization: You’ll be encouraged to walk within hours of surgery to promote circulation and intestinal motility.
- Nutrient Absorption: Learning how OAGB affects the absorption of vitamins like B12, Iron, and Vitamin D.
- Phased Eating: Progressing from clear liquids to soft foods over the first 4 weeks as your new digestive system settles.
- Long-Term Monitoring: Regular blood tests to ensure your nutrient levels remain optimal as you reach your goal weight.
