<P> The mini gastric bypass procedure was first developed by Robert Rutledge from the US in 1997 , as a modification of the standard Billroth II procedure . A mini gastric bypass creates a long narrow tube of the stomach along its right border ( the lesser curvature ) . A loop of the small gut is brought up and hooked to this tube at about 180 cm from the start of the intestine </P>
