Hi! I am new to this site. Had MGB about 18 months ago. Lost 60 lbs so far. Needing surgery for extremely loose and heavy skin. Any Dr recommend.

Thank you for explaining that to me. That is literally the first time I have ever heard that term, mini gastric bypass. I looked it up and it seems like it's still considered kind of new in the bariatric field. In the meantime, sorry, but I cannot help you with the skin question, so I hope someone else pops up here who's in your neighborhood. Otherwise, do a search through our 50000 archived posts. You might find somebody who's had your exact procedure.

I hadn't heard of that either. It's interesting, it's like a combination of the sleeve and the traditional bypass. Instead of separating the entire stomach and then creating the bypass, they make a sleeve, albeit smaller than a VSG, and connect it further down the intestines.
