Duodenal Switch Surgery
What is a Duodenal switch?
The Duodenal Switch is a weight loss surgery that reshapes the stomach and alters the small intestine. This procedure combines a partial removal of the stomach (Sleeve gastrectomy) with a bypass that shortens the digestive path.
This restructuring of the digestive system helps reduce the amount of food that can be consumed and decreases the body’s ability to absorb calories from food, leading to substantial weight loss. The procedure also impacts the production of hunger hormones, helping to curb appetite further. The Duodenal Switch is particularly effective for those with severe obesity and related metabolic conditions, offering profound health improvements and a high success rate in long-term weight management.
