The document discusses the mechanism of action and effectiveness of the mini-gastric bypass (MGB) compared to other bariatric procedures like sleeve gastrectomy and Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. It states that the MGB works through non-obstructive restriction and induces fatty food intolerance and malabsorption similarly to the post-gastrectomy syndrome seen after gastric surgery. This encourages patients to adopt a healthy Mediterranean diet without liquid calories and sweets. In contrast, procedures like sleeve and Roux-en-Y work through obstructive restriction, which can lead to weight regain as patients turn to soft/liquid calories when healthy foods are blocked.
