Do hunger hormones reduce after mini gastric bypass?
The Ghrelin hormone is found in the section of the stomach removed by the surgeon. When this is removed, the patient will not just be full from eating modest quantities owing to the stomach size but also eating cravings will be greatly reduced. In this video, Mr. Ahmed Ahmed talks about the effect of OAGB on the level of hunger hormones.

Are the gut peptides or hormones reduced or changed after mini gastric bypass? We do think that some of the same changes that take place after a Roux-en-Y gastric bypass with a reduction in the hunger hormones and an increase in your full dose hormones, these we also feel are replicated in the mini-gastric bypass. Additionally, however, the mini-gastric bypass also leads to calorie malabsorption. So, people who have a mini-gastric bypass, when they eat food, their intestines will absorb fewer of the calories than those who haven't had a mini-gastric bypass or those that have had a regular bypass, and this is an added element for weight loss which occurs with the mini gastric bypass through calorie malabsorption.
