Mini Gastric Bypass
Obesity can lead to serious health issues, such as high cholesterol and heart disease, affecting your overall health and quality of life.
A mini gastric bypass is a procedure that changes how much you can eat and how many calories you absorb.
Oasis of Hope Bariatrics in Tijuana, Mexico, can provide a mini gastric bypass for just $5,750.
A gastric bypass isn't just about looking better.
It's about feeling better too.
Improve Your Quality of Life with a Shorter, Less Invasive Procedure
Long-Lasting Weight Loss
This surgery reduces the size of your stomach by approximately 90 percent and bypasses up to seven feet of your intestines. This dramatically limits how much you can eat and means your body will absorb fewer calories.
Improve Health Issues
The procedure can result in type 2 diabetes remission. It can also improve diseases such as high cholesterol, hypertension, and other metabolic issues.Shorter and Safer
While a traditional gastric bypass takes about four hours, a mini gastric bypass can be completed in about one hour. It also has a lower risk of complications (just 2.9 percent compared to 7 percent) for traditional bypasses.
Feel More Active & Confident
Obesity can make you feel self-conscious and prevent you from participating in an active lifestyle. Surgery and the long-term weight loss it provides can improve your vitality and boost your self-confidence.

How a Mini Gastric Bypass Works

"My Life Has Changed Dramatically."
"I want to thank Dr. Francisco Gonzalez and express my eternal gratitude to the staff at Oasis Hospital for their amazing work. Thanks to Dr. Gonzalez’s surgical skill as well as his entire program, my life has changed dramatically!" Tekia H., Oasis of Hope Bariatrics Patient
A Two-Step Surgery At Our Tijuana, Mexico, Facility
Step 1
The first step of this bariatric surgery is to reduce the capacity of the stomach by about 75 percent using a laparoscopic stapler. Afterward, the stomach will resemble a thin tube. As the stomach pouch adjusts after surgery, it will be able to hold four to eight ounces.
Step 2
The second step of the bypass involves attaching the new stomach to the small intestines while bypassing the upper portion of the small intestine. This causes food to flow from the smaller tube-like stomach and bypass a significant portion of the intestines before resuming the normal digestive process in the remaining part of the intestine.
How You Can Lose Weight With a Mini Gastric Bypass
Patients achieve long-term weight loss with this bypass procedure because of three very important changes it creates:
Reducing Food Intake
Your smaller stomach will feel full more quickly, encouraging you to eat less.
Reducing Calories
Your body absorbs fewer calories after this bariatric surgery because food bypasses a significant portion of the small intestine during digestion.
Reducing Hunger
After modifying your digestive system, signals communicating hunger to your brain will be reduced, helping your weight loss.
Of course, it takes more than surgical modifications to help patients achieve and maintain a healthy weight after a mini gastric bypass procedure. Our staff will also create a personalized and comprehensive nutrition plan to help you lose weight safely after your gastric bypass. Meanwhile, we will provide guidance to help you remain committed to a healthy diet and lifestyle in order to complement your reduced caloric intake.

Oasis of Hope Bariatrics is a top notch facility!
I was very pleased with the care that I received during my stay for a gastric sleeve. Every staff member was kind, compassionate and extremely knowledgeable.
The facility is clean. The beds are very comfortable. The WiFi is fast. They clearly communicated every step of the way. The patient coordinator was quick to reply with any questions. The nurses were amazing. The nutritionist was thorough. Dr. Camelo was the best! He explained everything in detail and checked in with me after surgery. The driver they arranged from the airport was prompt. My companion loved the three course meals at the restaurant! The soup was her favorite. She said everything was so fresh and the presentation was beautiful.
I highly recommend the Oasis of Hope Bariatrics.

I was my sister’s companion for her gastric sleeve surgery at Oasis and I have nothing but positive things to say about the clinic...Immediately upon arriving I realized she was in good hands. Everyone from the drivers who picked us up from the San Diego airport, to the reception staff, nurses, doctors, and cleaning personnel were kind, caring, and courteous people. I will especially remember the nurses, each one was so sweet and professional with us - didn’t matter if it was 2am at night or middle of the day. The facilities are spotless and comfortable, it felt like we were in our own hotel room with all the amenities, and they were cleaned regularly. I had my own bed to sleep in, we were able to control the temperature on our own, and request fresh bedding when needed...The cafeteria also had regular dining options throughout the day ~ all vegan and yummy for $10 a meal. My sister and I are from Mexico so we spoke Spanish with the staff but staff is fully bilingual. I’m very grateful to everyone there for helping my sister take this important step for her well-being and would recommend this place highly.

Do I qualify for a mini gastric bypass?
Candidacy
Our team will perform various medical history evaluations to determine whether you are a good candidate for mini gastric bypass. Some of the most important criteria include:
Body Mass Index
In order to qualify for mini gastric bypass surgery, you should have a body mass index (BMI) over 40 without comorbidities or over 35 with comorbidities.
Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease
Patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease, or GERD, may not be good candidates for this surgery because it increases your risk of bile reflux. If you suffer from GERD, you may be a better candidate for a traditional bypass.
Healthy Lifestyle
Smoking and heavy alcohol use can increase your risk of complications and heart disease, so you should be committed to maintaining a healthy lifestyle prior to surgery and throughout your recovery.

"I’m glad I made the right choice and chose Oasis." Why Patients Choose Our Tijuana, Mexico, Practice
Deb Avery
2022
Oasis is a beautiful location, right near the beach with a wonderful and caring staff who are passionate about the services they offer. I came from Salem,Oregon and felt safer in Tijuana than I do in Portland, Oregon. The staff were very attentive and caring and I only had a couple of times where we had to use a translation app to communicate. The doctor who did my surgery was thoughtful and took the time to listen to me, which I rarely get in the US. I had minimal to no pain and the team was very helpful with my questions and options for my travelling companion. Best experience I have had in a hospital setting and they had the best chicken broth! Highly recommend to anyone considering this option. I also discovered many people who travel to TJ for surgery go to Oasis for their actual procedure, even if they coordinate with another agency. Affordable, safe and I have had no issues in recovery at home.

A Typical Recovery Timeline For Your Weight Loss Surgery
Mini Gastric Bypass as a Revision Surgery
Mini gastric bypass is a popular option for patients considering revision surgery after gastric sleeve surgery, LAP-Band, or gastric balloon. Similarly, those who previously underwent mini bypass surgery can often undergo a duodenal switch or traditional gastric bypass. Because of our outstanding results in this area, about 50 percent of the procedures our Tijuana practice performs are revisions.
"I’ve lost around 40 pounds in 6 months..."
"I had my Sleeve Gastrectomy done in January of 2018. I was astounded at how fast I recovered from the surgery. I am even more amazed at how fast I started losing weight. I feel great and have had no medical issues since my discharge from Oasis. I’ve lost around 40 pounds in 6 months since the surgery and I feel great. My knees stopped hurting, I feel good after eating and I have a lot more energy. My kids are happy that I’m much more active and for once I feel like life is good !! Thanks Dr. Gonzales"
If you're not a candidate for a mini gastric bypass surgery, there are other bariatric surgeries that can help you with weight loss.
Other Bariatric Surgery Options Available at Our Tijuana, Mexico Facility
Roux-en-Y / Traditional Gastric Bypass
Widely known as a traditional gastric bypass, Roux-en-Y is a procedure where the stomach is divided into a lower and upper pouch. The procedure is similar to a mini gastric bypass except it involves more intestinal rerouting and has a shorter overall surgery time. Some people choose a mini gastric bypass instead of a Roux-en-Y procedure because it's a simpler weight loss surgery and less likely to involve complications.
Gastric Sleeve
In a gastric sleeve procedure, part of the stomach is removed to reduce your caloric intake. Like a mini gastric bypass, a gastric sleeve is a restrictive surgery that limits how much you can eat. Our surgeon removes the stomach tissue using laparoscopic techniques. Next, using a surgical stapler, he will create a stomach "sleeve" similar to the size and shape of a banana. The remaining gastric sleeve will only be about 10 percent of the size of your natural stomach.
