What is the Duodenal Switch (BPD-DS)?
Duodenal switch surgery, also known as “BPD-DS,” is a weight loss procedure that significantly reduces the size of the stomach while the small intestine tightens.
What does it consist of?
To begin with, about 70% of the total stomach size is surgically removed, resulting in a restrictive food intake as the first component in the weight loss process. This restrictive portion of the duodenal switch creates a new type of “sleeve” in the stomach, just as performed with the gastric sleeve surgery. An important advantage of this DS procedure is the preservation of the pyloric valve, leaving the bile and pancreatic fluid intact.
Advantages of the BPD-DS
- Offers the highest rates of weight loss within the first year.
- Preserves a stable long-term weight loss.
- A great alternative for those patients with a high Body Mass Index (BMI).
Duration of the procedure: Approximately 130 minutes.
