About Duodenal Switch Surgery

This information is intended for general information only and should not be considered as medical advice on the part of Health-Tourism.com. Any decision on medical treatments, after-care or recovery should be done solely upon proper consultation and advice of a qualified physician.

What is Duodenal Switch Surgery?
Duodenal switch surgery, also called Biliopancreatic Diversion with Duodenal Switch or Gastric Reduction Duodenal Switch, is a weight loss surgery.
The Duodenal switch procedure involves a restrictive aspect and a malabsorptive aspect. The restrictive aspect limits food intake by reducing stomach size and the malabsorptive aspect means fat absorption is reduced by making your food bypass part of the small intestine, resulting in fewer calories and weight loss.

How is Duodenal Switch procedure carried out?

  • The duodenal switch procedure is carried out through an incision in the abdomen or by laparoscopy.
  • In the restrictive part of the duodenal switch surgery, up to 85 percent of the stomach is removed.
  • In the malabsorptive part of the surgery, the surgeon reroutes one portion of the small intestine to create three loops.
  • The stomach is attached to the duodenum (the upper small intestine), which is attached to the lower portion of the small intestine.
  • Rerouting the pathways has the aim of reducing the amount of time calories are able to be absorbed from food in the small intestine.

Who is a suitable candidate for the Duodenal Switch Surgery?
According to The National Institutes of Health, the duodenal switch procedure is suitable for people with a BMI of 40 or over, or a BMI of 35 and above along with an obesity-related illness such as heart disease or diabetes.
Suitable candidates have been obese for at least five years and have no history of alcohol abuse or untreated depression.
