One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB)

One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) surgery Benefits

One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB), also known as mini gastric bypass, is a surgical weight loss procedure that
involves creating a small stomach pouch and rerouting the small intestine to that pouch. Here are some benefits of OAGB:

• Significant weight loss:
  OAGB can help patients lose a substantial amount of weight within a short period of time. Patients can expect to lose
  60-70% of their excess weight within the first year.
• Reduced risk of obesity-related health problems:
  OAGB can help patients lose a substantial amount of weight within a short period of time. Patients can expect to lose
  60-70% of their excess weight within the first year.
• Shorter hospital stay and recovery time:
  OAGB is a minimally invasive procedure that is associated with shorter hospital stay and recovery time compared to
  traditional gastric bypass surgery.
• Lower risk of complications:
  OAGB can help patients lose a substantial amount of weight within a short period. Patients can expect to lose
  60-70% of their excess weight within the first year.
• Significant weight loss:
  OAGB has been shown to provide long-term weight loss results, with patients maintaining an average weight loss of 50-60%
  of their excess weight after 5 years.

One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) Procedure

The One Anastomosis Gastric Bypass (OAGB) procedure typically involves the following steps:

• Anesthesia:
  The patient is placed under general anesthesia to ensure they are asleep and pain-free during the surgery.
• Creation of the stomach pouch:
  The surgeon creates a small, egg-sized stomach pouch by stapling the upper part of the stomach. This restricts the
  amount of food the patient can eat and helps them feel full more quickly.
• Diversion of the small intestine:
  The surgeon then divides the small intestine and attaches one end of it to the stomach pouch, creating a Y-shape. The
  other end of the small intestine is reattached further down the small intestine, allowing food to bypass a large portion
  of the stomach and the first part of the small intestine.
• Closure:
  The surgeon closes any incisions made during the procedure, and the patient is moved to a recovery area.

The OAGB procedure usually takes between 1-2 hours to complete, depending on the patient’s individual anatomy and
medical history. The surgery is less invasive than traditional gastric bypass surgery, with a shorter operating time and
hospital stay, and quicker recovery time.
