Conversion MGB to RNYGB
in Frankfurt / Main
Optimization in case of complications or increased weight acquisition
In some cases, a Mini Gastric Bypass (MGB) is not enough to reduce the desired weight in the long term. Complaints such as reflux or intolerances can also sometimes occur after the procedure. If this is the case, conversion to a Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RNYGB) may be a sensible solution.
The RNYGB not only changes the stomach, but also the course of digestion. By bypassing a section of the small intestine, the absorption of certain nutrients is regulated, which has an additional effect on the metabolism. This can help to improve weight loss and reduce discomfort at the same time. Our team will be by your side throughout the entire process to ensure optimal therapy.
How the conversion from Mini Gastric Bypass to RNYGB works
The operation is minimally invasive under general anesthesia and takes around 2 hours, depending on the initial situation. Afterward, most patients remain hospitalized for 3 to 5 days to monitor the healing process.
Hristo Nikolaev Kolev, a specialist in general surgery in Frankfurt, will accompany you from the decision to undergo the procedure through to long-term follow-up care. The aim is to improve weight regulation and reduce possible discomfort.
As we run a private clinic, treatment is offered to those with public health insurance as a self-pay service. Of course, we will inform you in advance of all costs incurred.
1. Preparation:
A comprehensive medical history, diagnostics, information and an adapted
diet will prepare you and your body for the operation.
A gastroscopy is also required. Please send us the corresponding findings report.
2. Surgical adjustment:
The existing connection between the stomach and small intestine is
remodeled. In addition, a new section of the small intestine is connected to
the reduced stomach.
3. Securing the healing:
The new connection is stably sutured to ensure healthy digestive
function.
4. Recovery phase:
The procedure is followed by inpatient observation to ensure
complication-free healing. Additional costs are to be expected, depending on
the length of stay.
5. Long-term support:
Regular medical check-ups, nutritional advice and the supply of
essential vitamins and minerals are crucial for successful adaptation.
