There are so many of us performing the mini-gastric bypass, including of course Dr. Rutledge who has done more than 3000 since 1997. As of 2019, about 30,000 procedures have been performed world wide. Also, there is a ton of data on this subject. But health insurance providers are not covering this procedure.
What are your opinions?
In other jurisdictions it is covered and recommended - see

But in this German guideline it is mentioned that the mini-gastric bypass has less and weaker evidence than comparable methods....
Yes
Germany and Austria has material in German...
I think what you look vor is on page 77 " 5.7 Omega-Loop-Magenbypass "
At least in Austria and Germany it is reimbursed.
Maybe with the terminology you see in 5.7 you could find this also in other systems.
