A Modern, Minimally Invasive Solution for Weight Loss

By Dr. Mohammad Khrais

Dr. Mohammad Khrais, one of the region’s leading bariatric and metabolic surgeons, offers an advanced weight-loss option through Magnetic Bypass Surgery (MagDI). This innovative technique represents a new generation of bariatric procedures, combining the effectiveness of traditional bypass surgery with the simplicity and comfort of minimally invasive technology.

What Is Magnetic Bypass Surgery (MagDI)?

This procedure uses specialized medical magnets to create a natural connection between specific parts of the small intestine—without cutting, stapling, or suturing.

The process involves several precise steps:

• Two medical-grade magnets are introduced endoscopically—one into the duodenum and the other into the ileum.
• The magnets attract each other, forming a natural connection between the two segments over a few days.
• Once the passage is fully established, the magnets detach and pass naturally through the digestive system.
• The tissues remain intact without cutting, stapling, or suturing, making the procedure safer and less invasive.

This approach provides patients with a safe and comfortable treatment experience, offering results comparable to traditional bariatric surgery.

Advantages of Magnetic Bypass Surgery (MagDI)

• A minimally invasive procedure with no major incisions or permanent alterations.
• Very low complication rates compared to traditional surgical techniques.
• Faster recovery, allowing patients to return to daily life within a short period.
• Significant improvements in weight and metabolic health, including better control of diabetes.
• Maintains the natural anatomy, offering flexibility for future procedures if needed.
