At the Dr. Luis Betances Bariatric Institute, we are committed to cutting-edge bariatric and metabolic surgery. We are proud to offer the advanced MagDi Magnetic Bypass, a revolutionary, safe, and minimally invasive alternative, ideal for the effective treatment of obesity and the remission of Type 2 Diabetes. This pioneering technology allows for the creation of an essential digestive connection **without the need for incisions, sutures, staples, or foreign materials** that could interfere with the body's natural healing process.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The MagDi Magnetic Bypass is an innovative system designed to create an *anastomosis* (joint) between two key portions of the intestine: the duodenum (the portion closest to the stomach) and the ileum (the final portion).<\/p>

Like a conventional gastric bypass, this procedure creates a shorter path for food to pass through, making it a powerful tool for:
\u2022 Generate considerable and sustained weight loss.
\u2022 To treat and stabilize chronic diseases such as difficult-to-manage Type 2 Diabetes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

1. Controlled Compression<\/strong>:
The magnetic attraction force brings the two walls of the intestine together and compresses them.<\/p>

2. Tissue Fusion<\/strong>:
This controlled compression allows both walls to merge naturally.<\/p>

3. Healed Anastomosis<\/strong>:
The result is a fully healed and functional passageway (anastomosis), without the risks associated with foreign materials such as staples or sutures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The procedure is performed precisely and safely, combining endoscopic and laparoscopic techniques by our specialized team:<\/p>

1. Ingestion of the First Magnet: The patient ingests one of the magnets, which travels to the small intestine.<\/p>

2. Distal Positioning: Using laparoscopy (minimally invasive surgery), the team of *Dr. Luis Betances* guides this first magnet to the ileum (the most distal portion of the intestine).<\/p>

3. Proximal Positioning: The second magnet is inserted via gastroscopy (orally) and placed in the duodenum, a few centimeters from the pylorus.<\/p>

4. Union and Release: The two portions of the intestine are brought together until the magnets magnetically join.<\/p>

5. Natural Expulsion: After 2 to 3 weeks, the time required for the anastomosis to form, the magnets are released and expelled naturally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Lower Risk of Complications<\/strong>By not using staples or sutures, clinical studies have shown a reduction in the risk of leakage and bleeding, the main complications of traditional bariatric surgeries.<\/p>

Superior Anastomosis<\/strong>Magnetic compression bonding has proven to be stronger and cleaner than bonding created with sutures or staples.<\/p>

Sustained Weight Loss: More than 20% of food travels through the new conduit, generating effective and sustained weight loss over time.<\/p>

Metabolic Control: Stabilizes and improves Type 2 Diabetes by reducing the absorption of fats, carbohydrates, and sugars.<\/p>

Minimally Invasive: This is a procedure that reduces surgical time and can be performed on an outpatient basis in many cases.<\/p>

Unique FDA Approval: It is the only technique of its kind on the market approved by the FDA to create anastomoses using magnetic compression.<\/p>

Revisional Option: This is an excellent alternative for patients who previously underwent a Gastric Sleeve and have regained weight.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

This innovative option is intended for patients seeking a highly effective bariatric procedure with a minimal invasiveness rate.<\/p>

You could be an ideal candidate if:<\/p>

Suffers from *Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus* (especially if it is difficult to manage).
She had a previous gastric sleeve surgery and has regained weight (revision surgery option).
Look for a bariatric method with proven results, but one that avoids the use of staples, sutures, and extensive incisions.<\/p>
