Duodenal Switch

Duodenal Switch is a type of weight-loss surgery designed for individuals with severe obesity. It involves two key procedures: first, a portion of the stomach is removed to create a smaller stomach pouch, which helps limit food intake. Second, the small intestine is rearranged to bypass a significant section, leading to reduced nutrient absorption. This combination helps patients lose weight more effectively while also improving conditions like diabetes. It's considered a more complex procedure and is typically recommended for those who have struggled with other weight loss methods. Regular follow-up and dietary changes are essential for success.
