rnThe Duodenal Switch (DS) also known as Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD)<\/strong> with Duodenal Switch is a form of weight loss surgery that is not as frequently employed as the other forms likeu00a0gastric lap band<\/a>,u00a0sleeve gastrectomy<\/a>u00a0oru00a0gastric bypass surgery<\/a>.rnrnThough there are both pros and cons to the Duodenal Switch Surgery<\/strong> as with any other surgery, it is generally agreed now that DS results in quicker and greater weight loss<\/strong> than the other two procedures (This surgery is also recommended for some patients with Type 2 Diabetes.)rnrnIn this page, we will first discuss about the procedure involved in Duodenal Switch, its benefits and drawbacks, how to prepare for the surgery, what to do after the surgery, how it compares with lap band and gastric bypass, and lastly, the medical tourism centers in India & Mexico where you can go in for low cost duodenal switch surgery.rnrn

How Is the Duodenal Switch Surgery Performed?<\/h2>\n

rnrnThe surgical procedure of a duodenal switch includes cutting away a part of the stomach, leaving behind a banana-shaped stomach.<\/strong>rnrnThe rest of the stomach is discarded. This partial gastrectomy<\/strong> divides the stomach along the greater curvature, and the part that is removed is nothing more than a mass of acid-producing tissue.rnrnThis is the restrictive aspect of the procedure. One of the important things that happen because of this partial gastrectomy is that the hunger-inducing hormone ghrelin<\/strong> is produced in much lesser quantity.rnrnThe malabsorptive aspect of the surgery involves rerouting a lengthy portion of the small intestine, creating two separate pathways and one common pathway.rnrnThe shorter of the two pathways, the digestive loop, takes food from the stomach to the large intestine.rnrnThe much longer pathway, the bilio-pancreatic loop, carries bile from the liver to the common path. Here, the food mixes with the bile from the bilio-pancreatic loop before emptying into the large intestine.rnrnThis arrangement is done to reduce the amount of time the body has to absorb calories from the food in the small intestine and to limit the absorption of fat selectively. Sugars, protein, and nutrients are absorbed to a limited degree in the food tract.rnrnFat absorption occurs only in the common tract. Therefore, the shorter the common tract, the less fat absorption<\/strong> will occur.rnrnThe Duodenal Switch surgery in India & Mexico is usually an open surgery<\/strong>, but it can also be done laparoscopically, that is in a minimally invasive way.<\/strong>rnrnBut not all bariatric surgeons have the expertise to perform a laparoscopic duodenal switch.<\/strong> And neither are all patients suited for this method of surgery.rnrn<\/p>\n<\/div>rnrn\n

History of Duodenal Switch<\/h2>\n rnrnThe Duodenal Switch procedure (without the accompanying gastric bypass as used in weight-loss surgery) was originally devised by Dr Tom R. DeMeester to treat bile gastritis.rnrnBut it was Dr. Douglas Hess of Bowling Green, Ohio, who, in 1988, became the first surgeon to combine the DS with the Biliopancreatic Diversion (BPD) as a form of obesity surgery.rnrnAmerican Society for Bariatric Surgery<\/strong> has some interesting information on biliopancreatic diversion duodenal switch surgery<\/a>.rnrn\n

Who Qualifies for Duodenal Switch Surgery<\/h2>\n rnrnDoctors usually accept only super-morbidly obese patients<\/strong> or patients for whom other weight loss surgeries have not worked for the Duodenal Switch surgery(Super-morbidly obese means a BMI of 50 or more). Other conditions that may be considered are:<\/strong>rnrn
