Weight Loss Surgery
Mini Gastric Bypass
Simplified single-anastomosis bypass — comparable weight loss to Roux-en-Y with shorter surgery and potential reversibility.
Is it safe?
Your hospital holds the same JCI accreditation as Cleveland Clinic and Johns Hopkins. Verified by TEMOS for international patient safety.
Will the price change?
Your price is locked before you book. Surgery, hospital, hotel, transfers, aftercare — one number, no extras.
What if something goes wrong?
Mandatory insurance required by Turkish law. If a revision is needed — flights, hospital, surgeon — covered. You never pay twice.
Who's my surgeon?
Confirmed before you pay. Full credentials, specialisation, and patient results shared upfront. No last-minute switch.
What happens after I fly home?
24/7 WhatsApp with your coordinator. Scheduled video check-ups with your surgeon. 12 months, not 12 days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Mini gastric bypass uses a single intestinal connection instead of two, resulting in a shorter and less complex operation. Weight loss outcomes are comparable, and the simplified anatomy may carry a lower complication rate.
The procedure is potentially reversible due to its simplified anatomy, though reversal is rarely needed. The single anastomosis makes restoration of normal anatomy less complex than reversing a Roux-en-Y bypass.
Bile reflux is a theoretical concern with single-anastomosis procedures. However, the long stomach pouch and appropriate limb length used in modern MGB technique minimise this risk. Your surgeon will evaluate your reflux history during the pre-operative assessment.
Mini gastric bypass typically produces greater weight loss than gastric sleeve (60-75% vs 50-60% excess weight loss) due to its additional malabsorptive component. It is also more effective at resolving metabolic conditions such as type 2 diabetes.
Yes. Lifelong supplementation with vitamins B12, D, iron, calcium, and a daily multivitamin is required. MedProper provides a personalised supplementation protocol and monitors your nutritional status during follow-up.
