Mini Gastric Bypass
(MGB) in Frankfurt / Main
For weight loss with long-term effects
The Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is a proven method for effective and permanent weight loss. Compared to classic gastric bypass surgery, the procedure is less complex as the connection between the gastric pouch and small intestine is placed further down. This reduces food intake and gently redirects digestion.
The combination of stomach reduction and bypassing a section of the intestine means that the feeling of fullness occurs earlier, and fewer calories are absorbed. We will prepare you for the procedure together and also offer you needs-oriented follow-up care.
How the Mini Gastric Bypass works
The operation is minimally invasive and performed under general anesthesia. The procedure usually takes 1 to 2 hours, followed by close medical aftercare.
Hristo Nikolaev Kolev, an experienced general surgeon in Frankfurt, will provide you with comprehensive care - from the consultation to the procedure and long-term support. You will receive individual assistance to ensure optimal healing and successful weight loss.
As we run a private clinic, treatment is offered to those with statutory health insurance as a self-pay service. Of course, we will inform you in advance of all costs incurred.
1. Preparation:
Before the procedure, a thorough examination, information and an adapted
diet are carried out to optimally prepare the body for the operation.
A gastroscopy is also necessary. We ask you to send us the corresponding findings report.
2. Procedure:
The reduced stomach is connected directly to the small intestine,
allowing some of the food to bypass the normal digestive route.
3. Stitching & healing:
The surgical connection is stitched securely to support a
complication-free recovery.
4. Initial recovery phase:
Immediately after the operation, you will be monitored in the recovery
room before inpatient follow-up care lasting 2 to 4 days, for which additional
costs will be incurred.
5. Long-term support:
Regular check-ups, targeted nutritional advice and individual lifestyle
adjustments are crucial to the success of the operation.
