Considering the MGB
“In Every Study,
By Every Measure the
MGB is Equal to or
Better than
any other Surgery”

•Mini-Gastric Bypass
Confusion & Mistakes
• Anyone can do a
“single anastomosis gastric bypass”
• That “Does Not” mean doing the
true “Mini-Gastric Bypass” (MGB)
• Doing the MGB Wrong has led to
Many Complications: Examples ...

Reminders of the Basics of

The Sleeve is NOT New

•Wangensteen performed the first experiments of

 Resection of the gastric
pacemaker resulted in aberrant

dysmotility.

Post-op malnutrition
Vitamin and mineral deficiencies after Sleeve
Gastrectomy: A huge challenge
Thought that deficiencies mostly occurred in procedures with
a malabsorptive component, like the RNY, MGB or the BPD
The risk for deficiencies after sleeve gastrectomy was
considered low. 3
Studies show that sleeve deficiencies occur almost as
much.3,4
Research by Capoccia et al. showed that following
laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy a significant proportion of
patients developed vitamin B12 and folate deficiency.4

Deficiencies in Sleeve
•Dr. Aarts iron deficiency 43% Sleeve patients
•In 26% of patients had significantly low B12, folate, iron
and vitamin D levels in sleeve gastrectomy patients.3
•“There is no doubt that the levels of nutritional
deficiencies after sleeve are higher than those reported
in the literature.”
•“In our series, 28% of patients were anemic, but the
literature states only a few percent of anemia cases per
year.
•This is incorrect, nutritional deficiency rates after sleeve
gastrectomy are grossly under reported.

Malnutrition MGB
•You Can Get Malnourished After MGB
•But
•Usually it is not a Poor Diet
•It usually means that the Bypass is Too Long
and Needs revision
•In skilled hands this occurs in 0.1 to 1% of
patients
•For 99%-99.9% of MGB Patients the
Recommended Diet for MGB is...
•Practically every system in the human body
benefits from the "Mediterranean diet"
