"Dr. Babak Moein is one of the few surgeons in Southern California who is double fellowship-trained in both bariatric weight-loss surgery and cosmetic body contouring, which allows for a comprehensive treatment approach under one roof."Mini Gastric Bypass is a streamlined bariatric procedure ideal for individuals with obesity and related conditions like Type 2 diabetes or previous failed surgeries. This technique reduces hunger, enhances glucose control, and results in rapid weight loss with fewer surgical risks and quicker recovery. At Healthy Life Bariatrics, Dr. Babak Moein-one of the few double fellowship-trained bariatric and cosmetic surgeons-offers expert care from consultation to long-term follow-up.

The field of bariatric surgery continues to evolve-and one of the most compelling advancements in recent years is the Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB). For patients struggling with obesity, comorbidities like Type 2 diabetes, or weight regain after other procedures, the Mini Gastric Bypass offers a faster, technically simpler, and highly effective path to long-term weight loss and improved health.

At Healthy Life Bariatrics in Los Angeles, Dr. Babak Moein leads the way in offering this innovative procedure, combining advanced surgical precision with compassionate, personalized care.

What Is the Mini Gastric Bypass?

The Mini Gastric Bypass is a less invasive alternative to the traditional Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It involves creating a small gastric pouch and bypassing a portion of the small intestine-reducing calorie absorption and controlling hunger by altering gut hormone signaling.

Unlike the traditional bypass, the Mini Gastric Bypass involves fewer anastomoses, often shorter operative time, and quicker recovery, making it ideal for many patients seeking efficient results.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

• BMI over 35 with comorbidities (e.g., diabetes, hypertension)

• Struggles with appetite control or previous weight loss surgeries

• Looking for a reversible or revisable option

• Wants shorter operative time and fewer surgical risks

Benefits of Mini Gastric Bypass Surgery

Effective Weight Loss

Patients can lose up to 70–80% of their excess weight in 12–18 months.

Improves or Resolves Diabetes

The bypassed portion of the intestine alters glucose metabolism and insulin sensitivity.

Lower Surgical Risk

Fewer intestinal connections mean reduced risks of leakage or complications.

Faster Recovery

Most patients return to normal activity within 1–2 weeks.

Reversible or Revisable

Offers flexibility that other bariatric procedures may not.
