Mini gastric bypass surgery (MGB)

The mini-Gastric Bypass (MGB) is a minimally invasive, short, simple, successful laparosopic gastric bypass weight loss surgery. The mini-Gastric Bypass has been shown to be low risk, it has excellent long term weight loss, there is minimal pain and when necessary can be easily reversed or revised.  People from all 50 States and from around the world are choosing the mini-Gastric Bypass as the best choice in Bariatric weight loss surgery.

Instead of a small pouch, the mini gastric bypass surgery procedure creates a narrow tube that is attached to the small intestine approximately six feet from its starting point, a placement that bypasses the highly absorptive section of the intestine. Because no large incision is needed to perform mini gastric bypass surgery, there is a lower risk of large surgical scars or hernia.

Dr. Quesada performs his surgeries at Hospital Clínica Bíblica.

For international patients arriving from outside of Costa Rica, we have arranged a surgery schedule that will help minimize your time away from home. We will hold your first consultation and check-up on one day and perform the surgery the next. You should expect to stay in Costa Rica for at least 8 days after the surgery so that you can make a full safe and comfortable recovery.

The cost of the RNY or the MGB Gastric Bypass is $11,500. This includes: preop consultation, surgeon fees, operating room, anesthetist, medications, and a 2 night hospital stay.
