Mini gastric bypass, also called one anastomosis gastric bypass (OAGB or MGB), is a laparoscopic weight-loss operation that reshapes the digestive tract to treat severe obesity and its related conditions such as type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep apnoea. The surgeon creates a long, narrow stomach pouch and connects it directly to a loop of small intestine with a single join, bypassing the larger remnant stomach and a portion of the upper intestine. This reduces how much food the stomach can hold, limits calorie absorption, and triggers hormonal changes that suppress appetite and improve blood sugar control — often within days of surgery. The operation typically takes one to two hours under general anaesthesia, and most patients stay in hospital for three to four nights. Mini gastric bypass produces durable weight loss broadly comparable to the classic Roux-en-Y bypass and is considered a recognised standard bariatric procedure by major international surgical societies.
