So mini gastric bypass, also known as a single anastomosis gastric bypass, is performed with keyhole surgery. In the operation, the surgeon will create a long stomach pouch, almost like a banana shape and to the end of this long gastric pouch, the surgeon will attach a loop of small intestine and that's how a single anastomosis and mini gastric bypass is constructed.
