Duodenal Switch
A duodenal switch is a type of weight loss surgery which modifies both your stomach and your small intestine. This combination involves a partial gastrectomy where part of your stomach is removed together with an intestinal bypass which shortens the way food passes through your intestines. With gullets like these the amount of food that the stomach can hold becomes limited and the absorption of nutrients become reduced in the small intestine making them malabsorptive procedures. In addition to that, they decrease hunger hormones thus reducing appetite.
There are two forms of duodenal switches. The original version known as biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) has been well established and extensively studied. The newer version known as loop duodenal Switch was invented so that the surgical procedure could be made simpler in order to minimize possible complications.
This procedure is primarily for very obese persons or if other means have failed to bring about enough weight reduction. Duodenal switches can lead to copious loss of excess weight but it requires a lifetime commitment of following certain diets, taking supplements regularly and visiting doctors frequently. Therefore, it is upon your doctor to advise you on whether this is the best route for your weight loss journey
