The MGB (Single Anastamosis Gastric Bypass) was first used in America 16 years ago. It was deemed to be a safe, rapid and effective bariatric operation that yielded excellent results. As it has grown in popularity the worldwide number of procedures has increased significantly.
Important – this procedure should not be confused with the Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass. The Clinical Team at NOSC have chosen not to become involved with Roux-en-Y due to the complexity of the procedure and the unpleasant, ongoing side effects. The MGB is a technically more simplified and less risky procedure that can easily be modified or reversed.
