Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are the advantages of the duodenal switch?

Highest success rate of all bariatric surgeries with greatest overall weight loss.
Improves hunger, metabolism, blood lipid and blood sugar levels long-term.
Remission of Type 2 diabetes.
Slightly larger gastric sleeve than other procedures, allowing for slightly larger meals.
Rarely causes dumping syndrome, so you don’t have to completely avoid sugar or fats.
Longer life with significantly reduced risk of death by any cause.

What are the disadvantages of the duodenal switch?

Malnutrition. Now that your small intestine will not be able to absorb as much nutrition from your food, you’ll have to take nutritional supplements daily. Your healthcare provider will also continue to test you periodically for nutritional deficiencies for the rest of your life.
Diarrhea. This is another side effect of malabsorption in your small intestine. Your small intestine won’t be able to digest your food as thoroughly as before or extract as much water. This can make for loose, smelly stools and gas. It can also make stools more frequent.
Bile reflux. Surgery that affects the pyloric valve, the opening between your stomach and your small intestine, can cause it to malfunction. If the pyloric valve doesn’t close properly, one possible result is bile reflux. That means the bile that your gallbladder sends to your small intestine to help digest food can backwash into your stomach.
Gallstones. Rapid weight loss sends a large load of cholesterol to your liver to process. When your liver sends bile to your gallbladder, it carries extra cholesterol with it. This extra cholesterol can build up in your gallbladder, forming cholesterol gallstones.

Who is a good candidate for duodenal switch surgery?
